As of March 12th, Bermuda has administered a total of 126,461 vaccinations and 72.5% of the population has received two doses and 72.0% of those eligible for a booster have received it.
In releasing the latest test results, a Government spokesperson said, “Since January 11, 2021, Bermuda residents have received a total of 126,461 vaccinations.
“Of the 126,461 vaccinations given as of March 12, 2022:
- 52% are women and,
- 48% are men
“87.0% of all residents over the age of 65 years have had at least one vaccination and 85.6% are fully immunized.
“To date, 75.0% of the population has been vaccinated [1 dose], and 72.5% of the population has been immunized [2 doses]. Additionally, 72.0% of those eligible for a booster have received their booster.
“As a reminder, vaccine booster appointments are available until March 31st at Pier 6 by appointment or walk-in.
“After March 31, the COVID-19 vaccine will be available through participating physicians’ offices and participating pharmacies, and there will likely be a charge for this service. I encourage anyone who wants to get vaccinated to register their interest on gov.bm/vaccines as soon as possible.
“And if you are eligible for your booster, please get it. Studies released by the CDC show the booster provides improved protection against severe illness and hospitalization due to COVID-19.
“Parents wishing to get the COVID-19 vaccine for children aged 5-11 should register as soon as possible as our current paediatric vaccine supplies are limited. Parents should first register their child on gov.bm/vaccines and then contact their paediatrician to arrange to get the vaccine. If your child does not have a paediatrician, contact the Hamilton Health Centre on 332-8906 for assistance in scheduling an appointment.”
