The Public Health Department has published the latest schedule for the COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic for June 2021.

The current batch of vaccines are set to expire at the end of June, therefore persons who still have not received their first dose are encouraged to get the vaccine before June 9th to allow for the second dose to be administered 21 days later.

“From Thursday June 10th we will be administering second dose only with the current batch of vaccine,” said Dr Hazel Brown, HSA Chief Nursing Officer. “During this time, we encourage people to come forward for their second dose when it is due, as we have allocated these vaccines for these individuals.”

Please check the vaccine schedule for various times and locations.
