According to information released on the initiative, to get vaccinated, persons must be over the age of 18 and must have a valid photo identification such as a driver’s license or NHI card.

No exiting vehicles for smooth process


The guidelines also indicated that pre-filled registration forms will take less time, however, persons are being encouraged to not get out of their vehicles while at the venue.

The project is being executed as part of a collaboration between the Government of the VI, Unicef, Rotary, BVI Red Cross, and the BVI Health Services Authority (BVIHSA).

After the jab, persons would have to park and wait for 15 minutes after which they will be free to leave, however, once you feel sick or anyone in the vehicle feels sick after vaccination, the car can be honked for assistance.

For persons without vehicles, the event also has provisions for walk-in vaccinations.
