Individuals who are due their second dose of the COVID-19 AstraZeneca Vaccine are being invited to make an appointment for one of the vaccination sites operating islandwide. Second dose appointments can be made using the registration portal 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 public is being reminded that they are not fully vaccinated until they have received their second dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine, and are still required to follow the Infection Control and Prevention protocols outlined by the Ministry. These include wearing a mask, sanitizing, social distancing, handwashing and following the measures outlined in the Disaster Risk Management Act.
