“With this strategy, we seek to encourage and raise awareness among all mothers and families about the importance of vaccination,” said Mayelis Madrid, secretary in charge of Health, after specifying that a total of 3,499 double passes will be delivered to redeem at the cinema.
The initiative is part of the “Get involved with vaccines” strategy and seeks to encourage compliance with vaccination schedules from an early age. In total, according to the Ministry of Health, this Saturday there will be 78 points enabled to access this vaccine. Passes can be claimed right there to enter a screening at Cinemas Procinal.

In the middle of the call, Madrid added: “Additionally, we remember that all 9-year-old boys and girls between 9 and 17 years old can get the HPV vaccine, completely free of charge. This prevents us against cervical and penile cancer.”
For this day, the Mayor’s Office also extended the invitation for children under 6 years old pending their PAI scheme to attend; women between 10 and 49 years old to complete a tetanus and diphtheria regimen; and those over 6 months of age who are missing doses against covid-19.
On the other hand, the campaign against the 2023 southern strain influenza is in its last days. It is aimed at people over 60 years of age, children between 6 and 23 months, pregnant women from week 14 onwards, human health talent, family members who live with children under 18 years of age diagnosed with cancer, among other populations.
