Semper: First more information, then more vaccinations in the neighborhoods

WILLEMSTAD - The vaccinations by the mobile vaccination teams in the neighborhood have been put on hold until next weekend. Over the next week and a half, the team first wants to provide more targeted and comprehensive information to the neighborhoods. In the hope that the numbers will go up.

This is reported by medical coordinator of the vaccination campaign in Curaçao Dr. Jerry Semper.

Yesterday, Bibando den Bario's team evaluated the first results of the mobile vaccination process and the figures are somewhat disappointing. An average of 75 people are vaccinated per neighborhood. In one district 100, but in the other only 50.

“We are therefore going to provide more extensive and more customized information to the neighborhoods we will be visiting soon. To try to convince even more people first. If we then vaccinate in those 4 to 5 neighborhoods, we will evaluate again: see whether the numbers have gone up,” Semper explains.

Because, despite the fact that the team is happy with every injection in the arm, at some point it has to be checked whether all the time, costs and effort of the staff sufficiently outweighs what you get in extra vaccinees. “That is why we take 10 to 11 days to first communicate more specifically and extensively with the neighborhoods, to see if we can increase the number of injections,” says Semper. "Let it be 300 to 400."
