George Hasan wrote on Twitter: 'Had the Covid vaccine. Local authorities are running different identification schemes, including using carer passports and carer emergency cards.īut insiders involved in the day-to-day running of the scheme and dozens of Britons who claim to have been jabbed have told how there are 'no checks' and no need to provide any proof of identity. NHS bosses say carers and NHS staff must provide proof of their occupation when they go to get vaccinated, such as letter identifying them as a registered carer. Officials aren't thoroughly checking the credentials of people when they turn up for their appointments, inoculated people claim. The businessman would not have been eligible at that point.Britons can cheat the Covid vaccine queue system by claiming to be a carer to get jabbed early. The Minister is yet to provide the results of an investigation into the claim of a businessman that he was vaccinated. “With this current amount that we have of 100,000 doses, which would cover 50,000 people, we are going to spread it across all regions of Guyana and our priority group as of now are going to be healthcare workers and of course the elderly persons 60 years and above,” the minister noted. The minister further added that the health authorities want to give priority to the persons who need the vaccines the most and are the most at risk.Įventually, he noted, authorities will get vaccines to cover the entire population but right now they are focused on using the limited amount of vaccines to cover the priority groups. “If there are persons who are jumping the queue and we discover them then they are going to face stiff penalties because we don’t want people to jump the queue,” he noted. Further, he stated that they will be asking persons to take along their identification cards so that they can verify who they are and take the necessary information. “When we started with the first 3,000 doses… there were people who wanted to jump the line so they did not want to wait their turn and they would turn up at our vaccination sites and probably try to impersonate the health care workers and with this 50,000 persons that we will be immunising, we will require stricter documentation,” he said.Īnother 50,000 persons are expected to be vaccinated in the coming weeks as Guyana has received some 100,000 doses of vaccines recently-20,000 doses of the Sinopharm vaccine from the Government of China along with 80,000 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine from the Government of India.Īnthony noted that with this tranche, the ministry is hopeful of continuing the vaccination of health care workers from both the public and private sectors.
