Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Health, Letitia Lestrade Wyke with Country Head Stephen Lander.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As the entire world continues its fight against COVID-19, CIBC FirstCaribbean continues to give its support to the Ministry of Health and by extension the Government of Dominica.<\/p>\n

Through its charitable arm, FirstCaribbean International ComTrust Foundation, a donation was recently presented to the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Health, Mrs. Letitia Lestrade Wyke by Country Head Stephen Lander toward the island\u2019s vaccination programme.<\/p>\n

Mr Lander noted the challenges COVID 19 has had and continues to have globally.\u00a0 \u201cWhen the saga started none of us anticipated the length of time we would be dealing with it. From a corporate social responsibility stand point, CIBC FirstCaribbean has always been \u2018how can we help?\u2019 Along the way at every stage of the fight we want to do something to assist, so now we\u2019re into a new chapter and the important thing now is to get our population vaccinated so we can get to herd immunity,\u201d Mr. Lander said.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Wyke also commended the bank for providing assistance from the initial stage of the Ministry\u2019s fight against COVID-19. \u201cThese donations show that the work the Ministry is doing is appreciated by groups and members of the community,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n

She further urged all Dominicans to get vaccinated explaining that the vaccines will be administered at no cost to individuals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As the entire world continues its fight against COVID-19, CIBC FirstCaribbean continues to give its support to the Ministry of Health and by extension the Government of Dominica.
