Given the increase in infections by covid-19, the Ministry of Health in Coahuila said that 10,000 Pfizer vaccines arrived, which will be applied to children between five and 11 years of age.
These drugs will be insufficient, since Roberto Bernal himself, head of the Ministry of Health, indicated that to cover all children under 11 years of age, at least 250,000 doses would be needed.
He also added that those that already exist will be distributed proportionally to the population density. For La Laguna, only a thousand little ones will be inoculated, which is a very low number, since the population of minors is very high.
He also pointed out that they still have the Abdala vaccine, since it has a range of 18 months after expiration, so until others arrive, this Cuban drug will continue to be applied, mainly for adults who are over a year old. who were vaccinated, but also indicated that the possibility of applying it to the teaching sector is being sought.
But in addition, the head of the Ministry of Health mentioned that the possibility of resuming the use of face masks in the entity’s schools is being analyzed, which is not yet viable, since for the Ministry of Health, there is no considerable increase in terms of infections, as well as those hospitalized by the virus.
There is concern, for which reason the authorities of the health sector, as well as the educational ones, will be monitoring that the return to school is without problems and in the event of any incident due to the virus, measures will have to be taken.
At this time, people have already begun to be seen using face masks, as if to avoid contagion and end up in a hospital.
It must be remembered that covid-19 has never left the national territory and at any time the number of infected people can increase.
Now, all that remains is to be attentive to the indications of the health sector and abide by the indications, since in this way the virus can be prevented from becoming a health problem in the entity again.
