October 31, 2023. The Congress of the State of Chihuahua, by majority vote, requested the Federal Ministry of Health to desist from supplying vaccines that do not have the required international certification, as well as expired vaccines, which instead of being beneficial can cause harm to the population; this after approving the proposal presented by Marisela Terrazas Muñoz.
The legislator explained that on October 12 in our country, the public institutions of the National Health System were instructed to continue with the actions that are necessary for the prevention, control and mitigation of the disease caused by the SARS virus. -CoV-2 (COVID-19), in accordance with the powers conferred on them in health legislation and other applicable legal provisions.”
In the same letters issued to health employees, he noted, we found that 17 of the 26 batches of vaccines available have already expired since August, and the other 10 batches are days away from expiring. But they decide – under we do not know what scientific criteria – to “extend the useful life” of the vaccine until the months of February and May.
In that sense, he said, yesterday the Ministry of Health reported that it has applied 1.7 million doses of vaccines against Influenza and COVID-19, in a national campaign that started last Monday, October 16. But the question arises, is the goal just to show off a large number or to truly protect Mexicans?
The Federal Government has a budget of more than 13,500 million pesos to buy vaccines that do work, that would protect Mexicans, why apply a vaccine that does not work, that is not approved by international parameters and that is also Do they dare to supply expired?
Finally, he mentioned that it cannot be prevented if there are no current vaccines and we cannot talk about quality in health when we do not focus on prevention. There are many needs that the country is going through and today we want to ask the federation to focus on the most basic need of the population, health.
