(Not mandatory just a guide) (Not an essay question)c) What accounts for the constraints faced by regional governments to ensure their citizens get vaccines? What should they give consideration to, in order to secure the fate of their people’s free movement? Andra (47 years old) and Baxter (51 years old) have been married for the pastseventeen years and are parents to Simon (18), Adrian (16) and Navita (12). Both ofthem are employed on a full-time basis - Andra is a supervisor at the Courts HomeStore (CMS) while Baxter works as a Mathematics teacher at a private secondaryschool in the city.The family resides in a well-established community of about 500 persons living intwo- and three-bedroom units, developed with government assistance almost 20years ago - Suttons Place. They had the option of renting-to-own or obtaining amortgage to purchase their property and opted for the latter arrangement as theybelieved they could comfortably afford the 30-year mortgage. They have beenpaying their mortgage for the past eight years and were even able to build anadditional room so that each of the children have a room of their own to sleep in.The eldest child is preparing for his Advanced Level examinations in the next fewmonths and hopes to be able to enroll in university in Barbados to start studies inLaw, while Adrian is preparing to enter Form 5 in September and Navita, Form 2.They have generally managed to keep focus at the beginning of the pandemic butare now increasingly fatigued and find it difficult to maintain the grades they wereaccustomed to and perform at their best.With the pandemic seemingly not letting up, Andra and Baxter have foundthemselves in some difficulty. Sales at CHS has significantly slowed and after sixmonths last year, in September, management informed employees that in order tosave jobs there would be a 10% cut in salaries for 6 months and if things did notchange, a period of furlough would follow from April 2021 until September 2021,by which time it is anticipated the economy will begin to pick-up as vaccinesbecome available and the world returns to a state of normalcy. Baxter on the otherhand, has had to go to the school at least three times for the week to use the facilitiesto prepare material for his classes and facilitate students who do not have access toremote learning. He too, is concerned as the principal recently informed staff thatthe school is owed fees from a number of students and that there a significantdecrease in enrolment is expected for the new term which starts in September.Suttons Place is representative of the majority of small towns on the island that isheavily dependent on destination tourism as well as manufacturing and agricultureto a lesser degree. Increasingly, a number of persons in the community are withoutfull-time employment and there is a growing concern with the number of youngpersons loitering in the neighborhood; as well as an increase in members of the general public flouting Covid-19 regulations by hanging out in groups at local shops,the mini mart and basketball court or flocking to the beaches on the weekend.Andra and Baxter, in contemplating their income options and ability to meetfinancial obligations are considering sending their children to stay with relatives inthe countryside for better supervision while they are at work, but communal livingand inadequate amenities such as a reliable internet service for continuity of theironline classes have them second-guessing if it is the right decision at this time.Additionally, Baxter's 79 year old mother recently developed a cough that does notseem to want to go away. She refuses to visit the hospital as she believes there is noway she could get the flu everyone is talking about as all she does is sell provisionsin a stall at the front of her home which is in the countryside, more than an houraway from where her son lives.Andra and Baxter are very hopeful for a change in the country's fortunes. A recentpress release by the Ministry of Health informed citizens that the first set of vaccinesfor its population of almost 300 thousand, most of whom are over the age of 40, hadarrived in the country and distribution will be starting soon, beginning with healthcare providers and other members of the essential services. There are questions asto the availability for persons perceived to be more vulnerable as, for example, bothAndra and Baxter believe themselves to be in that category.The government is negotiating to get supplies via donation as it is hampered bysignificant budgetary constraints and international competition in the race to getvaccines. Securing enough for its population however, will help fulfill prospectiveinternational requirements for impending Covid-19 passportsfree movement and stimulation of the world's economy.will allow for
