The Petition about Coerced COVID-19 Vaccination for Children

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.

 Dr. Wayne West, Chairman of the Jamaica Coalition for a Healthy Society and Dr. Tracy Evans-Gilbert, Senior Associate Lecturer at the University of the West Indies and a consultant in Paediatrics, Tropical Medicine and public health at the Cornwall Regional Hospital.
