Keeping the average person informed means tracking a lot of people.

    And, are the ‘Few’ sites chosen for this Region, Affordable for taxi service!, wheel chair/ walker easy for the handicapped or do they need a caregiver? I think we need to consider more things before we celebrate.

    Not sure what the relationship is between 13,240 and 15,245 – there appears to be in inconsistency!

  • Terence

    The next obvious question is – “do they have the vaccines to support these numbers”? if so, what vaccine are they administering?

      The headline says the doses are in place. So what can go wrong? From what I have read, the over 80 people will be getting the Pf and M, brand vaccines. These are the ones I greatly favour, that use the new mRNA technology and should provide some decent protection against the variants.
