Some 201,347 persons or 41 percent of the Guyanese adult population, persons 18 years old and above, have received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, as Guyana continues on along the path to herd immunity.
Additionally, some 69,486 second doses were also administered, resulting in 14.3 per cent of the Guyanese adult population being fully vaccinated against the deadly novel coronavirus.
Those figures were disclosed by Guyana’s Adviser to the Ministry of Health, Dr. Leslie Ramsammy on Tuesday.
Dr. Ramsammy said that based on the available figures, Guyana is “far ahead” of other CARICOM countries in the drive to fully vaccinate their citizens.
