Saint Lucians Urged To Support Vaccination Efforts

spot_img

Saint Lucia’s Ministry of Health has urged everyone to support vaccination efforts to eliminate Vaccine-Preventable Diseases.

“Engage now, protect your future, and let’s ensure a healthier and brighter tomorrow for all,” advised Bernedette Felix-Regis, National Immunization Manager.

Felix-Regis spoke as Saint Lucia joined the rest of the region in observing Vaccination Week of the Americas 2024 from April 20th to April 27th.

This year’s observance theme is “Vaccines as Part of an Active Life: Engage Now to Protect Your Future.”

“This year’s theme emphasizes the proactive role each of us can play in shaping our future health outcomes through vaccination. It encourages everyone to engage with vaccination efforts and take responsibility for their own well-being.,” Felix-Regis stated.

She indicated that getting vaccinated or encouraging others to do so will profoundly impact the health and prosperity of future generations.

Vaccination Week of the Americas 2024 aims to highlight the benefits of vaccination and address any concerns or misconceptions.

Last week, the Director of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) cited misinformation as one factor contributing to a drop in routine vaccination of children in the Americas.

In addition to misinformation since the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Jarbas Barbosa noted a false impression that eliminated and controlled diseases no longer pose a risk and reduced vaccine prioritization.

According to PAHO, 15 of every 100 children in the Americas have only partial protection against vaccine-preventable diseases, although the region has historically been a leader in disease elimination.

  1. I am embarrassed for all those pushing this thing. Information is rampant. It is either that some of us resist being informed or have been compromised. For God’s sake, have a conscience. Respect and value life not only the life of your immediate family. Every life is precious.

  2. This continual unconcionalble pushing of these bioweapons on an unsuspecting and trusting population is nothing short of criminal. Yes…criminal. If those at the local helm still don’t understand that, then they are not fit for any such position. They are either too stupid or they indeed understand that these are poisons but are doing the bidding of others in spite of that. Either way…they are NOT FIT for any discussion…let alone any post concerning the health of others. The data of the last 4 years is unambiguous and clear: these vaxx are continuing to cause 100s of thousands to millions of deaths and injuries worldwide. As is evidenced right here and in every single territory that capitulated to the BS.
