KINGSTON, Jamaica. Thursday, July 1, 2021: The Ministry of Health and Wellness is advising individuals who are due their second dose of the COVID-19 AstraZeneca vaccine to make an appointment for one of the vaccination sites operating Islandwide.
The registration portal for scheduling an appointment is now open. Persons can make an appointment for their second dose of the AstraZeneca Vaccine by visiting the Ministry of Health and Wellness’ website at www.moh.gov.jm or by calling the National Vaccination Hotline at 1-888-ONE-LOVE (663-5683).
Persons who receive an appointment confirmation should take their vaccination card, TRN and a government issued identification/letter from a Justice of the Peace to the sites to receive their second dose.
The Ministry has been advised about the possibility of inclement weather for this weekend and therefore, persons making their way to a vaccination site should ensure they walk with an umbrella and take the necessary precautions when traveling to and from the vaccination sites. The Ministry will also activate its wet weather plans accordingly.
