For the third day in a row, people seeking the second dose of the anticovid vaccine overflowed to queue at the Manolo Morales hospital in Managua. At 4 in the morning you could see a kilometer long line of people that only grew with the hours.
In a tour made by LA PRENSA, it was observed that around 6 in the morning, the line reached the National Transit sector, turning in the direction of the Sports Center.
The hospital gates began to open at about 6:20 and people began to enter and the long line slowed down a bit. Yet people kept coming.
They come from the night before
A citizen who was standing in line commented to LA PRENSA that people began to arrive around 9 pm on Friday to ensure their quota for the second dose.
This is the third day that these huge lines of citizens are observed trying to get vaccinated and, like the previous ones, this Saturday the problem persisted that people who arrived in vehicles parked them in the bay that is located next to the Roberto Huembes market , generating more disorder among the agglomeration of people making lines and buses that pass through the area.
Although the independent medical union has insisted on the importance of the Minsa accelerating the immunization process against Covid-19, it is necessary to emphasize that this day must be carried out in an orderly and efficient manner, with a strategic public management plan for attend to the number of people who only seek to be immunized.
In these lines, physical distancing is not kept and few people use their alcohol or keep their masks in place while they wait for hours under the breeze or sun.
These rows have also been seen in the departments. This Saturday, in Corinto, Chinandega, citizens arrived at the Jose Schendell Hospital from two in the morning to obtain a place in the application of the second anticovid dose.
