One medical practitioner is sounding the alarm regarding hypertension numbers in Tobago. 

Acting General Manager of Primary Care Services at the Tobago Regional Health Authority Dr. Roxanne Mitchell tells of a significant number of persons coming forward for vaccination at the Magdalena vaccination site presenting with high blood pressure. 

She says this is a major cause of concern. 

Over 14,000 persons have registered for the vaccine thus far and Dr. Mitchell notes the increase in vaccination rate since the Magdalena Grand was added as a vaccination site. 

Dr. Mitchell was speaking during the weekly Tobago COVID-19 update yesterday.
