The Government of the State of mexico (Edomex) has launched a vaccination campaign targeting individuals who have yet to receive their COVID-19 booster shots. This initiative, which also includes seasonal influenza vaccines, is part of a broader effort coordinated by the Health Institute of the State of Mexico (NAME). The campaign, available for a limited period, will be accessible at over 700 locations across various municipalities in Edomex.
Macarena Montoya Olvera, Secretary of Health of Edomex, emphasized that the vaccines will be administered at clinics within the institution. Residents are encouraged to visit their nearest health unit to receive their COVID-19 booster. The campaign, which began on October 15, will continue until May 28, providing essential protection against the virus and additional safeguards for those who have previously contracted the disease.
The vaccines are described as “safe and free,” playing a critical role in saving lives, strengthening community health, and reducing complications from chronic and degenerative conditions. In Nezahualcóyotl City, the Sputnik vaccine will be administered at the DIF Neza vaccination center, located on Calle Civil Aviation s/n in colonia General Vicente Villada. Requirements for receiving the booster in Ciudad Neza include submitting a copy of the CURP and being over 18 years old. It remains unclear whether these same requirements will apply at other clinics.
