Over 10,000 Jamaicans have signed a petition, calling on the Government to withdraw the restriction of in-person learning to only vaccinated children. The petition to Prime Minister Andrew Holness and Minister of Education, Fayval Williams was launched by the Jamaica Coalition for a Healthy Society (JCHS).
However some have asked how can you have a healthy society with uneven protection against a potentially deadly virus?
We discuss the concerns of the petitioners.
