Starting Monday, September 27, the top floor of the ultra-modern Gouyave Health Centre will be designated the COVID-19 Testing and Vaccination Center for the St. John\/St. Mark Health District.<\/p>\n
Following his recent visit to the facility, Health Minister, Hon. Nickolas Steele welcomed
\nthe addition of the new site, as his Ministry ramps up COVID-19 testing and vaccination
\nthroughout the island.<\/p>\n
The Community Nursing Division, led by Mrs. Hannah Julien St. Paul; Permanent Secretary with responsibility for Hospital and Community Health Services (Ag.), and Mrs. Carol Telesford Charles; Chief Community Health Nurse (Ag.), as well as the district medical and nursing teams, have also endorsed the designation of the facility as a vaccination and testing location.<\/p>\n
In recent weeks, Grenada has seen a steady increase in the number of COVID-19 infections, as the country transitioned to community spread. Health authorities have therefore been undertaking various public health interventions including increased public education, testing and vaccination to curb the spread.<\/p>\n
COVID-19 testing and vaccination will be conducted at the Gouyave Health Centre every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.<\/p>\n
In the ongoing effort to protect both staff and clients, all persons must follow the established COVID-19 health and safety prevention protocols, such as the proper wearing of face masks or facial covering, hand sanitisation, and physical distance while visiting the facility.<\/p>\n
Clients can also choose one of the two available COVID-19 vaccines.<\/p>\n
Pfizer is administered to individuals who are 12 years and older, and AstraZeneca is available to those who are 18 years and older.<\/p>\n
Persons are reminded to walk with a valid photo identification card, such as a driver\u2019s license, NIS card or passport for quick and easy registration.<\/p>\n
Those returning for their second dose are reminded to walk with the vaccination card that was provided when they received the first dose.<\/p>\n
The Ministry of Health encourages the public to be patient and cooperative with the staff when visiting the Gouyave Health Centre.<\/p>\n
