Trinidad and Tobago: The Commissioner of Police, Gary Griffith, declared that contrary to reports, the Trinidad and Tobago Police did not shut down the vaccination drive at the Southern Academy for the Performing Arts (SAPA) this morning.
The Police Commissioner said because of the large number of persons expected for appointments and walk-ins, as well as the inclement weather, persons had to break their lines to seek shelter.
Commissioner Griffith noted that SAPA was open at 7.15 am with lines for the first and second dose of the Sinopharm vaccine, the first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine, as well as those who walked in. The organizers of the event catered for at least 1,000 persons.
The CoP said that police officers were assigned to monitor the event, but because some persons turned up before their appointment times, together with the arrival of the walk-ins and the constant rain, persons left their lines to seek shelter.
The CoP said because of the rain, operations at the SAPA compound were disrupted for a short while. Commissioner Griffith said more persons are expected at SAPA tomorrow, Tuesday, August 10th. He assured the officers of the TTPS would also be out for tomorrow's vaccination drive.
