​VACCINATED!- How Lucky Are We?

Since the start of this pandemic, Saba has been a very strong and healthy community. Being safe has been the importance island-wide, being protected, and now we’re taking the next step of being vaccinated.

I watched the helicopter land on Saba with the vaccines on Friday February 19th live on Facebook - “How impressive”, I thought.

​​To my surprise, my friend Chris Johnson was in the helicopter delivering the vaccine to Saba - "How badass!”

​I texted him instantly -
"So you’ve touched Saban soil, I see!”
A few minutes later, he texted back -

"Yes! But now I have to leave again. 😢”

Few minutes after that, the helicopter flew over our hotel, and I ran outside and waved; an overpowering feeling of excitement and gratitude came over me!
​
What a relief, It’s REALLY happening! Is this finally it?
“The light at the end of the tunnel?”
​
​This vaccine is here! The people of Saba are overwhelmingly happy, a way to get out of this situation and have their island safe, but also to be able to travel and finally see family and friends and get back to “normal.”

Juliana’s Hotel and Tropics Cafe believe that for this vaccine to work, we all need it. This pandemic will not stop until everyone is protected. (Not everyone will join us in this belief, but that’s OK. It’s a choice, and this is our blog, so let’s not discuss this here.) ​
​
​
We’re the new front-line people when tourists come in, and we want to protect ourselves and others.​
​
​We’re proud to have all of our staff vaccinated!

I also saw Governor Johnson live on Facebook welcoming the helicopter; he accompanied the vaccine to the hospital... so real, moving and historic!

​All the people involved (government officials, health workers, and countless others) have been under pressure for months. With many different facts and people’s opinions to consider, making difficult decisions, but they did it. I think they did an excellent job protecting Saba and proving themselves as honorable leaders.
On March 1st a total of 1328 vaccinations were administered.
“How lucky are we!”

We are vaccinating our way out of this pandemic
​and hope the rest of the world follows us soon!
