Step up and get vaccinated!

Getting vaccinated is a personal responsibility, but also an accountable decision of responsible citizens.

Grenadians in the diaspora observe that Grenadians in-country are the least vaccinated citizens against Covid-19 in Caricom. However, the statistics also show that Grenada is one of the countries in Caricom with the lowest incidence of Covid-19 cases.

The fact that the citizens of Grenada to date, have been spared from more devastating scourge of the virus, must be attributed to the very prompt actions, taken by the Government, to put in place sensible protocols aimed at prevention and safety for the protection of all citizens.

Getting vaccinated is a personal responsibility, but it is also a very accountable decision of a responsible citizen, for the greater good. Grenadians in the diaspora are calling on fellow Grenadians at home to help protect themselves, their families, and the country by getting vaccinated.

Being vaccinated is being protected, and enabled to reengage. Grenadian families and friends in the diaspora want to come home more freely. A vaccination record liberates a person to go with less risk, to places where there is now conditional access. Grenadians in the diaspora applaud the new entry requirements for fully vaccinated persons, which will begin on 1 May 2021. The diaspora is getting vaccinated and ready to visit and restock organic rum and spices.

Grenadians in the diaspora are asking all Grenadians to get vaccinated so we can all feel safer.  Consult your doctor, talk with your health professionals, make informed decisions, and don’t listen to what “they say.” Please be careful with some of the careless and ill-informed postings on social media. Getting vaccinated is about our economic and social independence, and about the future of our country.

    oh please
    the expert told me the following:
    I WILL STILL HAVE TO WEAR MASK
    I STILL HAVE TO SANITIZE!
    I STILL HAVE TO STAY 6 FEET AWAY!
    I STILL HAVE TO BE QUARENTINED IF I ENTER GRENADA!
    YOU ARE NOT PROTECTED FROM THE VIRUS!
    YOU ARE NOT PROTECTED FROM THE NEW STRAIN!
    YOU COULD STILL GET THE VIRUS!
    AND THE SIDE EFFECT WITH NO COMPENSATION!!!
    So tell me why i should step up and get vaccinated???????

    Well said, but eat+exercise healthy to avoid clots 🙂 Luke 14 Forsake all, everybody, yourlife to become a Christian
    Luke 12 and Matthew 6, Sell out, give all to poor people, and keep all alms in secret
    Matthew 5-7, Work for J, not €, then J will give you and your family as well in case they follow too the food and clothing needed
    Help the poor, sick, needy, and imprisoned to make J happy Matthew 25
    Mark 16 Share Love & Truth to all, to everyone everywhere
    John 17 Work with others in love + peace
    Don’t take the Mark of the Beast right hand or forehead, the only way to buy or sell (It’s not the covid mask or vaccine, but could be quantum implantable or quantum-tattoo) the Revelation 13+14
    USA is most likely the Babylon, to be destroyed with fire in 1 hour, the Revelation 17+18 He loves all, and we need to love Him back

    Grenadians in-country as mention should be weary of those in the diaspora returning to their so called home.
    The problem as I see it, being vaccinated “do not” preventvyou from contracting Covid nor does it prevent you from transmitting it. So how does this bennefit the so called in-country Grenadian? It is even more important to quarantine and test the fully vaccinated returning nationals, who love grenada and want to return for climatic reason & rum. This is the only way to protest the in-country Grenadians who made a conscious choice of not accepting the vaccine until further researches.

      Yes, that is very concerning. IMHO the most dangerous people are the ones coming in vaccinated because they can still carry the virus but will be allowed out in the public after only two days in quarantine. Common sense has left the building.

    Maybe you should urge criminals to step up and stop committing crimes so we can all feel safe too. Step up and let people feel free to take that vaccine or not.
