11 Territories Have Received Booster Vaccines

December 20, 2021

The UK Overseas Territories “have some of the highest vaccination rates globally” and to date, eleven — including Bermuda — have received booster vaccines, the British Minister of State Amanda Milling said.

During a recent session of British Parliament, Conservative MP Andrew Percy asked the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs “what steps her Department is taking to ensure that citizens in the British Overseas Territories receive booster shots of the Covid-19 vaccine.”

In response, Minister of State Amanda Milling said, “The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has been supporting the Overseas Territories since the outset of the pandemic. This includes the provision of vaccines which have been provided on a population proportionate basis with the United Kingdom.

“The UK Overseas Territories have some of the highest vaccination rates globally and the roll out of booster vaccines began in October 2021. To date, eleven [Anguilla, Ascension Island, Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, Montserrat, St Helena, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands and the Turks & Caicos Islands Overseas Territories] have received booster vaccines.

“Plans are in hand to deliver boosters to the remaining three Overseas Territories [Pitcairn, Tristan da Cunha and staff at the British Antarctic Territory] in early 2022.”

    Or, put another way, 11 territories have received “trinkets” (which have saved thousands of lives).

    • The News says:

      Oh please.
      They have done us a huge favour.
      A dose of vaccine can cost $200 or something.
      Hundreds of dollars there that you won’t have to pay.
      Say thanks to the U.K.

        I was being sarcastic. I meant no offence to the British government.

  2. LOL - the real one says:

    Missing information – the people in the territories are NOT eligible for any claims for damages done (adverse reactions) by the “vaccine” under the UK’s Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme program.

    That is a story that a curious reporter should investigate! (hint, hint)
