Prof. Charmaine Gauci said that the vaccination roll-out is currently going well with 16,531 doses having been administered so far, including 616 second doses.
Elderly people who are housebound will start receiving the COVID-19 vaccinate as from next week. Residents at St Vincent De Paul have also begun to receive the second dose of the vaccine. Residents who took the first dose are expected to have the second dose administered by mid-February.
Professor Gauci has urged people who have taken the vaccine to remain cautious and to observe all mitigation measures, including social distancing and hand washing.
