THA Secretary of Health, Wellness and Family Development Tracy Davidson-Celestine is continuing to urge eligible people to register for the covid19 vaccine.

Davidson-Celestine was among scores of Tobagonians who received the vaccine on Tuesday at the Scarborough Health Centre at the start of the vaccination process.

Contacted for an update, she said she “is still standing.”

She said: “I’m doing well. As part of the side effects, I had some body pains. I was able to resume normal activities after only a few hours.”

She is urging people to register for the vaccines to ensure the safety of everyone and to put aside any fears.

“While signing up and taking the vaccine is voluntary, pretty soon it will become a global requirement, especially for travel, and who knows, perhaps to enter some business places as well. If we agree that we want to return to normal and reduce the social and economic pressures, it’s important that we subscribe.”

She said there are still some fears among the general public, but people are signing up on a steady basis to receive the vaccines.

“I’m heartened that more vaccines will arrive into the country by next week,” she said.

The primary care staff, she said, has been managing the process well, there has been no significant adverse reports.
