By Aaron Humes: Cabinet was updated on the status of vaccinations and the number of vaccines available in Belize as of February 14, 2022.

Currently, there are more than 299,400 vaccines on hand.

As of 14th February 2022, 213,679 persons, or 49.76 percent of the total population had received at least one dose of the vaccine (an increase of just 327 persons) and 205,678 or 47.81 percent of the total population has been fully vaccinated (an increase of 726).

Also, 30,671 Belizeans aged 12 to 17 years old have received at least one dose of the vaccine and 25,351 two doses.

Additionally, over 35,449 booster shots have been issued to date. Boosters are now available to everyone (including those 12 to 17 years old), who have been fully vaccinated for three months or more.

Cabinet continues to encourage the public to wear masks in public, maintain physical distance, wash hands regularly, and for those not fully vaccinated, to get vaccinated as soon as possible. Vaccines save lives.
