Hon. John Briceno, Prime Minister
"As prime minister when my turn comes I will get vaccinated, but I prefer others to go before me. I was just mentioning to Minister Chebat just on Saturday I to an antigen test and it showed that I have my antibodies are very high. So it would be best somebody takes my turn, because I don't think I need it at this time."
Members of the National Assembly and the Judiciary will receive vaccinations in phase two of the vaccine rollout.
