The local health services reported that after the passage of Hurricane Otis and the power outage, they tried to keep the doses on ice with a cooler, this for 72 hours, but due to the emergency they could no longer keep them cold. .

Unfortunately, these vaccines were unusable so they were withdrawn by Cofepris. The doses that were withdrawn are:

1 bottle of the BCG or bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine, which is used against tuberculosis disease. 42 doses of rotavirus 97 doses for chickenpox 40 doses distributed in 4 bottles of DPT, which is used to protect against diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough mainly in babies and children. 50 doses in 5 bottles of the Abdala brand Covid 19 vaccine. 28 doses for the Human Papillomavirus 100 doses of hexavalent, which serves to protect against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, hepatitis B, Haemophilus influenzae B and poliomyelitis480 doses in 38 bottles of the influenza vaccine, this was the vaccine that was wasted the most.58 doses for thirteen-valent pneumococcus30 doses in 3 bottles of Double Viral (SR)38 doses of Triple Viral Vaccine39 doses of TDAP that helps protect against tetanus and diphtheria, as well as whooping cough180 doses in 9 bottles of “Antirabuca”

The document was released by the journalist Azucena Uresti, these doses are almost entirely part of the basic picture for children or newborns, in addition, a large amount of the influenza vaccine, which is applied in this winter season, was wasted and it becomes scarce due to its demand, another to highlight is the Cuban vaccine against Covid-19.

CFE works at forced marches

The Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) continues working to reestablish electricity in the port, however, 15 days after the cyclone passed, some residents still continue to live in darkness. According to the Commission, there are already 300 substations operating normally.

This morning, Ana Elizabeth García Vilchis, the owner of “Who’s Who in the Lies” said that the opposition was angry because CFE restored the power in “record time”, some residents demonstrate the opposite.
