“We have people who are lagging, surely when we close the vaccination process we will open an option for people who are lagging behind to be vaccinated and it is very likely to be with one of these, especially with Astra, which is the one that is being packaged in the country”, the official explained.

According to the secretary, the capital government is committed to applying this week about a million doses, to have coverage of at least one vaccine for people over 18 years of age.

This, due to the application of vaccines such as Sputnik V that are not accepted in countries such as the United States, who maintains immigration restrictions for those who have the Russian vaccine.

López Arellano trusted that within a certain time other vaccines will be accepted by the WHO and other countries, but for those who require it, another biological option will be sought.

“There are pressures in terms of the World Trade and Tourism Organization that are concerned about selective restrictions and are pressing for the acceptance of all the vaccines that the WHO has considered approved for the emergency,” he said.
