The Nurses Association of Jamaica, NAJ says some public health nurses who worked at the vaccination blitz sites in March and April have still not received their payments.

The concern was initially raised last week, which prompted a statement from the Health Ministry.

The ministry said approximately 4,000 persons, inclusive of public health nurses, were engaged as blitz workers at vaccination sites across the island on March 27, April 3 and April 9 to 13 and some 83 per cent have received their full payments.

It said of the outstanding payments, 32 were being processed; 60 were without banking information and 102 were rejected by the government financial management system due to dormant bank accounts and incorrect account information.
