As of July 26 (inclusive), 9 people received their first injection and 883 people the second dose (vaccination started January 7).
29,01% of the population of Saint-Martin has received at least one dose of vaccine since the campaign was launched last January. It should be noted that according to the old calculation criteria (population aged over 18), the vaccination coverage rate is 36,89%.
For information, the acquisition of immunity during the vaccination schedule consisting of 2 injections 3 to 12 weeks apart depending on the vaccine is done gradually. It does not start to work until two weeks after the first injection. Protection continues to increase over the weeks. Finally, one to two weeks after the second dose, vaccine efficacy is reached. It is therefore essential not to relax our vigilance, in particular by respecting barrier gestures throughout the duration of the vaccination schedule.
It is still also necessary to speed up vaccination in order to protect the most vulnerable but also to create collective immunity on the island.

If you want tourists to come back, get vaccinated
If not, don't be surprised if the island collapses….
Remember it is thanks to vaccines that tuberculosis, polio, tetanus, measles, etc ... have been eradicated
You had to say Thank you to the researchers who found the vaccine and to the state that vaccinates you for free
Spoiled children.
Many would be happy to have this chance

Well done for this comment Michelle
People who refuse to be vaccinated,
refuse to be aware of
dramatic consequences of their childish ideology
, refuse to help our caregivers
, refuse to live in freedom of movement
refuse to be men and women in solidarity with humanity at the risk of destroying it!
Nothing to add
BRAVO FOR THE COMMENTS Mr and Mrs PAVIE as well as Michelle,
the reality is without the vaccine you are risking your LIFE,
and that of others, reread MICHELLE ==> thanks to the vaccines …… ..and especially know that in other countries you have to pay to be vaccinated So a little GOOD SENSE.
