With the passing of time and the lack of vaccines such as Moderna and Pfizer, the demand for these in the stalls of Guatemala City has drastically decreased. A vaccination center that exemplifies this is the Guard of Honor.
However before this they have begun to opt for other plans such as mobile vaccination reaching places where there are groups of people who consider they have not yet been vaccinated, within these markets, the landfill of zone 3 in the capital as well as companies.

Colonel Rubén Téllez, spokesman for the Army, reported that the influx of people has decreased for a month, although it had increased when they administered Pfizer for minors.
Before between the vaccination center in the Honor Guard and the Campo Marte they vaccinated between 3,400 people daily, now only 300 people.
In brigades they have assisted bricklayers and market vendors, since the objective is also to search for people.
Requirement to find a job
Víctor Manuel Osorio Chamalé, 39, reported that he came to the Honor Guard to look for the first dose of his vaccine against covid-19, since, according to him, it is now a requirement to obtain a job.
Given this, he must comply with being vaccinated, since he is a bricklayer and to enter a company they ask him to be vaccinated.
Another factor that occurs is that many people are unaware that their municipalities have been vaccinated, as in the case of Adelino Palacios, 70, who claims not to be able to read, but found out that the Honor Guard was vaccinating.
