Only minors and pregnant women not verified for COVID vaccine
Chief Medical Officer Dr Richard Georges has assured that minors under 18 and pregnant women are the only groups that have not been verified to take the AstraZeneca vaccine now available in the BVI.
“The initial studies that the regulator used to prove the vaccine did not include persons under 18 years and pregnant women. So basically the vaccine is currently licensed in the UK and Europe for over 18 years of age and non-pregnancy. Those are the only two contra-indications at this point,” Dr Georges explained.
Dr Georges explained that despite the current findings, things could change as data is still being collected on the two excluded groups.
Safe for people on medication
Dr Georges also assured the public that tests so far have proven that the vaccine is safe for immuno-compromised people and those who are on medication.
“There is no contra-indication based on medications or pre-existing conditions per se. Even persons who are immuno-compromised – that would be up to their physician to balance the risks and benefits for them in terms of vaccination,” Dr Georges assured.
However, the Chief Medical Officer said persons who are taking blood-thinners must reveal this to vaccinators as certain precautions need to be taken.
Recently, it was revealed that the United Kingdom government will be covering all expenses associated with any negative side effects suffered by BVI residents who opt to take the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.

Good Luck with that One!
Just don’t take the vaccine. This is a worldwide opportunity to rid the planet of the stupid and uneducated. We all know who makes up the bulk of that category.
Well you must have multiple MODDAs that make up the bulk of that category. Anyways it’s a personal choice like the kool aid drinkers and Jim Jones.
Yep, we do, the obtuse, inane and ignorant pale skin man.
Save your puppets for the masses. I ain’t taking it.
So when will the vaccine be available to the public and where? Please.
Exactly the CLEARS can take and eat anything and live. HUEmans have to consider the actual consequences.
You’re wild lol but provocative.
cos it is dangerous
It’s very dangerous. It makes the black man white.
Don’t let them fool you, or try to school you.
If they love us like they say that they do, they would make sure this vaccine is properly tested, I was not made to make others feel good about themselves and I will not keep ip image for anyone, it’s only one thing God told me in his words to die for and that’s the “gospel”
God sent you the vaccine…
So you sending me to go get pregnant then lol
I got pregnant last night so I am excluded. Thank God.
DID YOU GET PREGNANT LAST NIGHT OUT OF LOVE, DECIET OR SPITE?
Who’s the daddy? Cuz there be a few scared boys right about now
How about making it mandatory for all work permit holders to get the vaccine especially the older ones. # test dummies
You are so right. Time to stop wasting it on others. The test dummies will live and inherit the country. How stupid is that! Darwin, What have you done!
Yes please do! Then they can run the country when the belongers are no longer around
The world Health Organization has said that the Corona Virus did not start at the Wuhan Seafood Market and are currently investigating to find its true origin. This fact alone should raise a question mark in the minds of those queuing up for the vaccine. Meanwhile some are boasting about how intelligent they are.
Stay off the dark web as it will melt your mind.
Don’t be a prick and get one
The last time I checked, BIO TECH, had to do with radio active. So good luck ingesting that and was NOT approved by the FDA!
And those lead paint chips you ate as a kid didn’t help. So what’s your point?
Why would it be approved by the FA if it wasn’t made in the USA? It was made and approved in Europe.
The AZD1222 vaccine against COVID-19 has an efficacy of 63.09% against symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection.Feb 11, 2021. Moderna & Phizer have 95% efficacy. Big difference….
