The Departmental Health Service (Headquarters) recommends that parents authorize the vaccination of their children against Covid-19 in educational units, where they are going to immunize minors.
“Continuing with the vaccination against covid-19, we are in the educational units, to facilitate the access of minors to their immunization doses,” said Carmelo Salvatierra, coordinator of Urban Networks of the Government of Santa Cruz.
He said that parents have been asked to sign the authorization for their children to receive the immunization dose.
According to Salvatierra, it is expected to vaccinate all children over five years of age.
And it highlights the importance of biosafety measures for the children who are attending the classrooms.
“We ask the population to send their children with masks, it is for the safety of the children,” highlighted Salvatierra.
Last Monday, Salvatierra reported that 850 positive cases of covid-19 have been registered in the last epidemiological week, which represents a de-escalation compared to the previous week.
So far, 39,310 people have been vaccinated against the disease in the department of Santa Cruz, with an average of 873 people vaccinated per day since immunization restarted.
