The Priority-Grouping System
The Pfizer-BioNtech vaccine requires two doses, administered three weeks apart, to be most effective. Inoculations have been administered to the Cayman community based on a
priority-grouping system, as detailed below, presently, anyone from the general public, aged 12 and above, can come forward for their vaccination and Pfizer-BioNtech boosters are available for healthcare workers, those aged 50 and above and the clinically extremely vulnerable (see criteria here)*. There will be regular
public announcements to update the community on the progress of the
programme - as well as when the subsequent groups can come forward for
vaccination.
As of January 29th 2022 medically vulnerable children aged 5 to 11 can come forward for a COVID-19 vaccine. The pediatric-sized vaccine dose is administered by specially trained Public Health Nurses with extensive experience in immunisations of children. Parents and guardians must accompany their children for the vaccine and they must bring along their child's immunisation record, a letter from their GP stating why the child should be immunised and a copy of the child's ID.
