<strong>2021</strong> ANNUAL REPORT<br />

TRANSFORMING TOMORROW...!<br />

NAPA Mass Vaccination Site<br />

At the request of the Government of the<br />

Republic Trinidad and Tobago (GORTT)<br />

for private sector participation in the<br />

vaccination effort, we partnered with<br />

the American Chamber of Commerce (AMCHAM<br />

T&T) and collaborated with the Trinidad and<br />

Tobago Coalition of Service Industries (TTCSI) in<br />

championing the establishment and management<br />

of a mass vaccination site at NAPA (National<br />

Academy for the Performing Arts). The entire<br />

process was funded by members of the private<br />

sector and administratively resourced from the<br />

aforementioned representative bodies, with the<br />

GORTT providing medical supplies.<br />

Over 33,000 vaccines were administered to<br />

the walk-in public over the two-month period of<br />

the initiative. I would like to use this medium to<br />

express my deepest appreciation to the business<br />

community for providing the financial support<br />

that made the project a feasible one. I must of<br />

course also thank all of the volunteers, including<br />

the medical professionals, the administrative and<br />

the general services supporters, for giving of their<br />

time and effort to ensure that the project achieved<br />

its objective. Due to the combined contributions<br />

of all the institutions and individuals who stepped<br />

forward on this very critical initiative, it was highly<br />

successful.<br />
