WILLEMSTAD - After some start-up problems at the Sentro Deportivo Korsou (SDK), the vaccination at the stadium in Brievengat is now also running faster. Yesterday people had to wait hours for their turn, but today it seems to be going more smoothly.
Medical expert who leads the vaccination program Jerry Semper explains that on the first day of the vaccination at the SDK there were some administration and registration problems. According to the doctor, those problems have now been resolved.
The are still received reports this morning from people who had to wait an hour, but according to Semper the problems have now been solved and there are 'zero' waiting lines. He advises people to arrive at the time of the appointment and not to queue at 6 a.m. in the morning.
Yesterday, about 1,750 people were vaccinated at the SDK. "That number will go up to 3,000 per day," said Semper. To protect the floor of the sports hall, the government calls on women to wear flat shoes.
From tomorrow, the World Trade Center (WTC) will also be used as a vaccination center. There, an average of 3000 people are vaccinated per day after three to four days. At Sambil, about 1,500 people receive an injection a day.
