Cayman’s anticipated reopening is not as close as many would hope, with recalculated population numbers showing the jurisdiction is further away from achieving the vaccination percentages needed for herd immunity.

We answer some of the key questions about the COVID-19 vaccines, how they work and their likely impact in helping reopen Cayman.
