The Health Department began the rollout of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine phase one for healthcare workers last week.
He's urged healthcare workers to take advantage of the vaccination programme in large numbers.
"A total of 15 829 healthcare workers have been infected with COVID-19 in the public sector since at the beginning of the pandemic the majority were nurses of about 55% and of the total infected 335 have sadly succumbed to the virus."
