Relatives asked to contact government elder care facilities

The Ministry of Health and Wellness is advising relatives or next-of-kin of residents of the Geriatric Hospital, the Elayne Scantlebury Centre, district hospitals and those nursing homes which are part of the Ministry’s Alternative Care of the Elderly Programme, to contact the relevant facilities if they object to their loved ones being vaccinated against COVID-19. 

The Ministry thanks members of the public for their cooperation in this matter. (BGIS)
