She also discussed the matter of hesitation in Barbadians regarding the vaccine. Under the operation “seek and save”, 55% of the population of Barbados have expressed their hesitancy regarding the vaccine. After two weeks, the result started to change, and after that, at the last interview in which out of every 8 out of 10 Barbadian was saying ‘Yes’ to the vaccine, and only a few were still in hesitation.

Life should get back on the track that is derailed for a few months due to the lockdowns opposed on the country’s men and women for their safety from the COVID-19 virus. Now the Barbadians are saying that they are feeling secured now after being vaccinated. The doctors have also noted that at this time, all should be mentally strong, which will defeat COVID-19.

The vaccine programmes by WHO in the whole world is a big example of community help without any discriminations. This helping nature is also a weapon for all to fight against the COVID-19
