Villamizar Suárez explained that “for the second booster dose, Pfizer biologicals were arranged, whose vaccine will be applied a full dose, and in the case of Moderna, half a dose.”
The official indicated that “we currently have more than 75,000 biologics available, especially from Pfizer, where there are more than 50,000 doses. More vaccines will arrive depending on what is available.”
According to the report of the Secretary of Health, in Santander there is a 32% application of the third dose and the call is “for the municipalities to complete the schemes in their population since there has been a decrease in the application.”
