Please see below from @themohwgovjm a breakdown of the Covid 19 Vaccination budget.

This budget accounts for all the public educational activities, equipment and materials needed to effectively ensure the health and wellness of every Jamaican citizen.

I’d like to give a further breakdown of the spend, $22 million will be paid to a firm One Integrated Group to develop and implement the communication plan; $64.3 million for advertising in print, electronic and social media.

$27.8 million for 12 public education sessions in each regional health authority, that will include groups, medical professionals, teachers, first responders, et cetera; and $36.2 million for brochures, flyers and other material.

That amounts to approximately $150 million.

The vaccination budget, which totals $5 billion, includes:

•$13.9 million for vaccine freezers

•$19.3 million to provide 10 vaccination training for staff in each region

• $232 million to hire 20 temporary staff in each region for 12 months

• $46.2 million for overtime and other benefits.
