<p>Ralph Gonsalves was bleeding profusely but is expected to recover, according to a statement from his office.</p>
<p>However, the prime minister will be flown to Barbados for further medical treatment including an MRI scan, Finance Minister Camilo Gonsalves told Parliament.</p>

<p>Authorities said Mr Gonsalves was injured when he stepped out of his car and tried to walk into Parliament amid a crowd of about 200 people that had blocked the entrance as they set roadblocks on fire.</p>
<p>“Such an act is to be unequivocally condemned,” his office said.</p>
<p>The attack was criticized by others including Ronald Sanders, ambassador to the Organisation of American States.</p>

<p>“This development in Caribbean politics is reprehensible,” he said.</p>
<p>Local media quoted Senator Julian Francis saying that a woman had been arrested.</p>
<p>The protest was organised by unions representing nurses, police and other workers who claimed that the government planned to mandate vaccines for certain employees.</p>
<p>Mr Gonsalves clarified that he would not make vaccines mandatory.</p>
