“I urge each and every Bahamian when that time arrives to kindly submit themselves to accept the vaccine as this would help to improve our health and help us to get out of this pandemic as quickly as possible.

“It will help us to open up our economy, it will help us to return to our jobs it will help our kids and their schooling, and it will help us greatly. Scores of Bahamians require food and employment; rental and business assistance.

“We remain in the mids of a terrible economic downturn with scores of Bahamians having lost their jobs and loverhoods, I am happy to report that we are seeing promising signs from our economy, but we still have a long way to go” the Prime Minister said.
