Vaccine Theft At Cornwall Regional Hospital, Jamaica W.I.

March 18, 2021 | Hopeton O’Connor-Dennie |

Minister of Health and Wellness, Dr. the Hon. Christopher Tufton.

Top level investigation under way to unearth missing ten (10) dose vial from the Cornwall Regional Hospital. Is that the full extent of the theft?  Is it really stolen in such dramatic style?  We hope there is full accountability in a short while.

Cornwall Regional Hospital in the news again,  for the wrong reasons. Delay in repairs and now theft of precious commodity?

We can do without such drama at this juncture. Needy seniors are yearning for the jab.  This is disappointing to hear of this possible inside job.

We say to Dr. C. Tufton, just stay on top of things.

Commentary

We will keep you posted as the investigation proceeds. It is a sad day. This is the last thing we expected to hear at this stage. These vaccine vials are being administered by professionals. People we should trust to do right not suspected of wrong doing. Let us allow the probe to proceed. We are not holding our breath as we know there is a shortage of oxygen in our hospitals. Enough said!

Do read between the lines,  as you are intelligent readers.
