Although until April 2022 only 43% of people over 18 years of age in Jalisco had received the booster dose against COVID-19, the State Secretary of Health, Fernando Petersen, assured this Friday that the number has already reached 60 percent.
However, he pointed out that there has been a decrease in the interest in going to receive the third dose, being the group of 30 to 50 years who have shown less interest in immunization.
For this reason and given the rise in COVID-19 infections, which have doubled since the removal of the mask as a mandatory measure, Petersen Farah He called on the people of Jalisco to come to apply the reinforcementWell, he said, this is what has allowed the infection rate “not to be as high as in other entities.”
“To all the people 12 years old and above, go get your reinforcement. Unfortunately, many people saw that the cases had dropped and that we had removed the use of face masks and as they said ‘this is over’, but we continue to insist that this is a very important health issue that really helps us reduce hospitalization and mortality”, said the secretary.
