Four Roads in St John and Crab Hill in St Lucy are two rural districts carded for a visit from the mobile COVID-19 immunisation unit this weekend.

These are only two of the sites around the island where Barbadians can visit to be vaccinated against the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) this weekend.

All three vaccines – AstraZeneca, Sinopharm and Pfizer – will be available at all sites, and students aged 12 to 18 may go to any of the listed sites to receive the Pfizer vaccine only.

The Immunisation Unit reminded anyone visiting the vaccination centres to receive the vaccines that they must walk with their national identification cards or another current form of identification.

On Saturday: The vaccination centre at Building 2, Harbour Industrial Estate in St Michael will open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

There will also be pop-up sites at National Heroes Square in Bridgetown from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Massy Holetown in St James from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Vaccinations will also be administered at the Cave Hill campus of the University of the West Indies between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m.

In addition, the mobile unit will operate at Bonnetts Housing Area in St Michael from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

On Sunday: The vaccination centre at Building 2, Harbour Industrial Estate will again be open, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and residents in the north of the island can visit the Mile-and-a-Quarter Seventh Day Adventist Church in St Peter from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

The mobile unit will also be stationed at two St Michael beaches on this day at Brandon’s Beach between 9:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. and Browne’s Beach from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
