Senior counsel Anthony Astaphan has sounded a note of caution that Dominicans who refuse to be vaccinated without a plausible reason should be willing to pay the price.

He has gone further as suggesting that person who refuses to be associated with the covid 19 rules whether by taking the various tests, being vaccinated, or observing health protocols such should not be allowed to enter the works place as these people put the lives of the vulnerable such as the elderly and children at risk.
