Vaccine hesitancy has become prevalent, however, vaccination for children has become a concern. Students have not been exempted from the discourse which has sparked outrage resulting in a wave of protests. Locally, one political commentator is urging the government to consider the risks of making the vaccine mandatory for schools.
On the heels of several protests in the region with the latest in Antigua and Barbuda on Sunday, pushing back on vaccination for children, conversations on the topic have begun in Jamaica. Speaking with CVM LIVE on Monday, Political Commentator Helene Davis-Whyte says while discussions surrounding making vaccines mandatory, Jamaica’s supply however is not substantial. She recommends the government do more to educate the public.
