“Time is running out for anyone who wants to get the Phizer vaccine,” said Kim Wilson, JP, MP, Minister of Health. “Bermuda’s current supplies of Pfizer BioNTech and AstraZeneca vaccines expire on June 30, and the Pfizer vaccine requires three weeks between doses. This means the last, first dose can be given on June 8, which is just four days away.”
“To be sure you can receive two [2] doses of the Pfizer vaccine, please either register for an appointment at gov.bm or attend the walk-in facility at the Bermuda College, the hospital or the Close to Home mobile vaccination site.”
“The next Close to Home mobile vaccinations will be at Victor Scott Primary School on Sunday, June 6, from 10 am – 2 pm. On June 8, it will be at Penno’s Wharf from 10 am – 2 pm and on June 10 at the Fairmont Southampton, from 10 am – 2 pm.
“At the Close to Home mobile vaccination sites, there will be doctors on site to answer any questions you have, and you don’t need an appointment. You can just show up and roll up your sleeve.
“We recommend the Close to Home mobile vaccination programme as an ideal opportunity to learn more for those people who want to hear about the Covid-19 vaccine from a trusted source.
“If you need a free ride to the Close to Home mobile vaccinations sites, call 533-5903 between 10.00 am and 1.30 pm. Mini-buses are available to take you there and bring you back home.
“The Bermuda College Vaccination Centre is holding a Jab and Jam event on Saturday June 5, from 10 am – 6 pm. There will be music, food, fun, and lots of giveaways. I encourage anyone who wants to get vaccinated to attend this event at Bermuda College this Saturday.

No need for anymore restrictions, but keep to masks indoors for a bit longer. Get back to normal except for hotel quarantining non vaccinated travelers as it is the only way a new infection can come here. People have had 6 months to get the vaccine, and if there is another outbreak, which is sure to happen, don’t penalize the vaccinated or immunized by previous exposure. No more lockdowns, curfews etc need to happen going forward. Covid will still be here, you can’t destroy it, but you need to live with it like any other disease or infection.
Exactly. At this point, everyone is reasonably safe, or has taken a deliberate decision to take a chance with their own health. From now on, no lockdowns, back to normal.
Correct. And if an anti-Vaxer gets COVID, let ‘em suffer, no treatment, don’t put anyone in hospital at risk
O cases? Not true.
Thank you for the walk in clinic dates and hours. Unfortunately the Vaccine hotline do not have the same information, saying KEMH today and tomorrow (7th & 8th) are for appointments only, however noted above they are accepting walk ins.
