Mexico City /
A Collegiate Court admitted to processing the appeals for review that the federal government filed against the judicial resolution that ordered it to modify the national vaccination policy to inoculate all minors in the country between 12 and 17 years old against covid-19.
The Second Collegiate Court on Administrative Matters of the Second Circuit accepted to hear the challenges presented by the attorney general of the Ministry of Health on behalf of the Secretary of Health, Jorge Alcocer, and the Undersecretary of Prevention and Health Promotion, Hugo López-Gatell.
He also entered the appeal filed by the deputy director of Administrative Resources attached to the office of the attorney general of the Ministry of Health on behalf of Jorge Alcocer and the president Andrés Manuel López Obrador, against the sentence issued on October 7 of this year.
In the coming days, the magistrates of the aforementioned court will determine whether the precautionary measure that orders the vaccination of all minors in the country should prevail.
A month ago, Claudia Irene Gámez Galindo, secretary acting as judge, of the Seventh District Court in the State of Mexico, granted a definitive suspension with general effects, which obliges the federal administration to apply the Pfizer-Biontech vaccine to minors in the country.
The judge pointed out that the vaccine should not be applied immediately, because the health authorities must first issue the guidelines that must be followed for this procedure.
Gámez Galindo stressed that all minors should be considered in point five of the logistics of the vaccination strategy (July 2021 to March 2022).
He also warned the health authorities that if they did not update the national vaccination policy, he would denounce them for contempt before the Attorney General’s Office (FGR). Last week, the federal government began with the registry to vaccinate minors, but only from 15 to 17 years of age.
