If I was a Surinamer and knew the test was $100, I'd be rioting in the streets.

It's actually "free" for when you go to the organized vaccination campaigns/spots and then you get a date for the second injection. I did wonder if it was mandatory for travel to Guyana, but didn't want to pry.

I think you have to pay the U$100,- for when it's for an emergency, especially for those traveling abroad. I also don't know if the campaign's only for the local population or also legal residents though, but when we had gotten our first shot, I saw a lot of Latin Americans also getting the vaccine. Don't know their status though. You do have to bring your identification paper(s).

I also don't know if the girls are required to get vaccinated.

Oh wait you're talking about the test and I'm talking about the vaccination. My bad 🤦🏽‍♀️.
