The Energy Chamber began the second phase of administering vaccines to the energy sector on July 21st, 2021. The vaccinations that are part of Phase II of the vaccination drive are being administered by the Acropolis Medical Centre.
Through the Ministry of Energy and Energy Industries, we received 5,000 Sinopharm vaccines for frontline workers in the energy sector including operators and energy services/contractor companies. We have since expanded the reach to administrative and managerial staff.
In Phase I, 4,000 Astra Zeneca shots were administered in June 2021.
We would like to thank the Minister of Energy and Energy Industries, Honourable Stuart Young for working toward providing this allocation which helps to ensure the safety of onsite workers at energy sector facilities both onshore and offshore, and which very significantly, facilitates continued operations in the industry.
The vaccination programme continues at the site, located at 101 Oasis Garden Terrace, 101 Circular Rd, San Fernando.
Testimonials:
The urgency to get vaccinated cannot be overstated. It is important that we all work together to combat this virus. My experience getting vaccinated at Acropolis Medical Center under the Energy Sector’s Phase II Sinopharm programme fuels my hope that we will achieve herd immunity as a sector and as a nation.The facility was well equipped and set up to observe all protocols and the process was quick and simple. Well done!” - Vonetta Alvarado-George, Occupational Health Manager, Heritage
“I just wanted to express congratulations on a flawless and dare I say ‘enjoyable’ experience today at Oasis Garden Terrace for the Vaccination Drive. The atmosphere was wonderfully inviting and the staff so polite and professional. From the person in the carpark greeting you, to the final nurse’s review , the whole process was easy and flowed so smoothly that it was over in 30 mins. Another quality project where the Energy Chamber shows how things ought to be done!” - Tricia Ramnarace Moonan, Finance Director, Caribbean Oceanic and Terrestrial Energy Equipment Limited (COTEEL)
