Those under five years of age, over 60, with some comorbidity, Health employees and pregnant women, are the population groups that are considered to receive the Covid 19 vaccine, according to information from the Welfare Delegation. Yesterday the arrival of 152 thousand doses of the Abdala vaccine was notified.
The state delegate of Development Programs, Juan Carlos Loera de la Rosa, explained that the shipment, which arrived by land, was distributed directly to federal health institutions for safekeeping.
He specified that 70,160 doses were delivered to the State Government Health Centers; 68 thousand 780 to the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS); 9,790 for the IMSS Bienestar clinics; 3,770 for the Institute of Security and Social Services for State Workers (Issste), and 100 doses for the Secretariat of National Defense (Sedena).
“For his part, the inter-institutional coordinator of the vaccination days in Chihuahua, Hugo Lechuga Barrera, said that this vaccine will soon be applied together with the injectable vaccine that protects against seasonal influenza, which for the first time will be quadrivalent; That is, it will protect against two influenza type A viruses and two influenza type B viruses,” the federal agency reported.
Lechuga Barrera added that currently most federal public health units have a reserve of the Abdala brand biological for adults that counts as a reinforcement for their vaccination scheme against Covid 19.
“The population is asked to keep an eye on the calls that are opened in the health units that are closest to them so that they come to apply both vaccines and remain protected in winter,” the statement stated.
