Despite the fact that at the national level there has been a shortage of various vaccines for both minor children and newborns, Guanajuato maintains a percentage of vaccination schedules completed above 90 percent, well above the national average.
The Secretary of Health of Guanajuato, Daniel Alberto Martínez, confirmed that there is the TD vaccine that is applied to all pregnant women and minors or people who, when they have an accident and cut themselves with some metal, such as rusty iron, can apply it.
This vaccine has been covering the needs of the shortage caused by the lack of tetanus vaccine, which has been very scarce throughout the world for the last five years.
Díaz Martínez pointed out that the federation has commented that the lack of this vaccine is because, during the Covid-19 pandemic, the world dedicated itself to generating the vaccine for this condition, in addition to the delivery of vaccines with this current administration federal also completely changed and the complete batches were no longer sent, but were sent in parts.
Some other of the vaccines that arrive with a certain degree of irregularity are those that act against hepatitis and that of the Human Papilloma Virus.
In the latter, the Secretary of Health stressed that it is of the utmost importance that they can be applied to all girls who are in the fifth grade of primary school or who are 11 years old so that, before they start their active sexual life, they can protect themselves of this virus.
In general, the average supply and coverage of vaccines in Guanajuato is approximately 90 or 95% when at the national level there are states with 50%.
