(BVI News) As the territory reels from at least 13 COVID-related deaths — 12 of which happened in the last few days and weeks — several vehicles have been queueing at the festival grounds in Road Town where the government is hosting a major vaccination campaign dubbed Operation Protect Each Other Drive-Thru Vaccination.
Operation Protect Each Other Drive-Thru Vaccination takes place today, Saturday, July 17 and Sunday, July 18 from 9 am to 5 pm.
Residents of the Virgin Islands will have the opportunity to receive their first or second dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine through this campaign.
The drive-thru will allow vehicles to enter the eastern gate of the festival grounds and occupants will be able to register, get inoculated, receive their cards and drive off in the convenience of their cars.
