Who is being vaccinated now?
With the rollout of the vaccine in Jamaica, there is now access for Citizens ages 75 years and over and parish council representatives who are 60 years and older, to set their appointment.
Before this stage Health care workers and other frontline workers were vaccinated. This process started online on March 22, 2021 at 10 am. The Ministry of Health and Wellness target for this stage is 30,951.
So far, the numbers have shown that majority of those registered are indeed citizens 75 years and older. There were also a small number of frontline workers registered.
Where can I sign up for the vaccine?
The main platform that should be used is the Ministry’s website at https://jamcovid19.moh.gov.jm/vaccination.html .
Seeing that majority of this age group may not be able to access the online platform efficiently, there is access to call 888-ONE-LOVE/888-663-5683.
Can I still sign up if my age group does not have access as yet?
It is highly recommended to wait until your specific age group arrives to visit the scheduling platform or call the hotline. This helps to prevent congestion for both platforms and promotes a smooth process for current and future citizens.
