The Ministry of Health and Wellness has announced that members of the public who have been issued a vaccination card with the manufacturer’s information as “SII”, are to visit a permanent vaccination site to receive an updated card. These individuals should take along a Government-issued ID or a letter from a Justice of the Peace and their current card to a permanent site listed on the Ministry’s vaccination web portal vaccination.moh.gov.jm.

The change has become necessary, as the Ministry seeks to ensure that the vaccination card contains the complete manufacturer’s information and to minimize any challenges that Jamaicans may experience while travelling.

In the meantime, the Ministry continues to administer the AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson vaccines to persons 18 years and older. The Pfizer vaccine is available to children 12 years and older, as well as persons 50 years and older.

Up to 5:00 pm on Wednesday, (November 24), a total of 1,087,313 doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered. Of that total, 588,371 were first doses, 433,174 were second doses and 65,768 were single doses.
