However, due to the amount of people and long queues forming, there are calls being issued for more vaccination centres and people administering vaccination. This also comes amidst reports of wild goose chases between MCAST and UOM for the vaccination.
People are also reporting being told to first go to one establishment to get their shot but then later told to go to another after their previous appointment location had closed up shop. Photos and videos sent to this newsroom show the long lines forming at UOM as people await their turn to get the jab. Despite indicating a sense of necessity to get boosted or vaccinated, the long waiting times are raising major concerns as people have to work around their schedule to get their vaccine.
As of the writing of this article, 1,075,996 vaccine doses were administered, 227,648 of which are booster doses. This also comes as Omicron starts to account for a majority of new cases.

Local animal rights group ‘Real Animal Rights Foundation (RAR Malta)’ started a crowd-funding campaign for those who would like to sponsor a memorial statue to Paulina Dembska.
Dembska, a young 29-year-old Polish woman, was found murdered on 2nd January, in Sliema’s Independence Garden at 6:30 am. The local council paid tribute to Dembska who was known to regularly feed and play with cats in the garden.
The NGO said that they ‘would like to immortalise her kindness and love for this stray cat community.’
‘RAR would like to (a) start a fundraising appeal of the cats which Paulina Dembska used to feed at the Independence Gardens in Sliema and (b) is asking for sponsorship of a memorial statue to be placed at the site where she tragically lost her life.’
The murder shocked the entire nation, with 20-year-old Żejtun youth Abner Aquilina being arrested by police after her body was discovered. Interrogations were suspended after he was admitted to Mt Carmel.
