The protest fever over concerns about mandatory vaccination against COVID-19 has spread to Antigua and Barbuda with protest marches.
Citizens heeded the call from a group called Freedom Fighters for Antigua and Barbuda, to protest about several issues including no to jab IDs, mandatory jabs, state of emergency, curfew and masks.
A group converged earlier this afternoon on Market street chanting “No vaccine” and “No vaccine for the children.”
One female protester said their freedom should not be taken away from them as well as expressed concern about children being vaccinated from the age of 12.
There are reports that teargas was used to disperse the crowd.
According to the latest statistics from the Ministry of Health, 38,605 people have received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine of which 31, 298 have received their second dose.
