Following decisions by the UK Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation and the UK Chief Medical Officers to change the vaccination protocol in the UK, the Director of Public Health, Dr Helen Carter, has recommended changes to the vaccination programme in Gibraltar. The Government says that these changes are based on new evidence about vaccine safety and efficacy and also in response to the Omicron variant, as advised by the World Health Organisation
No More Shame, the women’s sexual health charity, has reacted with “shock and bitter disappointment” the actions it says Unite the Union has been forced to take relating to the issue of gynaecologist contracts and maternity services.
The Government says it regrets to confirm the death of a resident of Gibraltar from COVID- 19. The total of COVID-19 related deaths in Gibraltar now stands at 99.
