THE EDITOR: So when will the Ministry of Health get serious about vaccinations?
How is vaccinating 1,500 people a day going to get us to the 'herd immunity?' At that rate we will need 400 days or more.
We have a large portion of the population who are medical practitioners and dentists. All of them know how to administer injections. I am certain they would each volunteer a week of their time to assist the population. Their practice is limited at this time. They have done well in this country. I repeat, they would willingly assist.
This insistence by the Government that it can do it alone and don't need suggestions or help from anybody is unnecessarily short-sighted. It is actually dangerous, because a health emergency has been declared. Emergency means that help is needed.
I tell my grandson not to scream unless he needs help. The Government has screamed. Now accept help. Ask for it. Let's get this vaccination programme going. Now!
