Mexico City. A low influx is observed in government health centers in Mexico City where the Abdala vaccine, produced in Cuba, is applied as a reinforcement against covid-19.
In some cases, such as T-III José María Rodríguez in the office of the mayor of Cuauhtémoc, from the opening and until after the first hour, no dose had yet been provided.
Only three people had come with the intention of getting vaccinated but one of them was not a candidate because less than four months had passed since the last virus vaccine was applied, and the other two chose to withdraw when they were informed that they had to wait to meet a group of 10 people to be able to apply.
Most of the people who came were for the flu shot, but they said they didn’t know that a new covid booster had already been applied, as did the mothers who brought their babies for the quadrivalent vaccine.
Outside the center there was only a sheet at the entrance announcing the “Vaccination post” but it does not specify that the reinforcement against the covid is applied.
At the Portales Health Center, in the San Simón neighborhood of Benito Juárez, the parking lot for the application of the biological has been set up and outside on the exterior wall the availability of the vaccine has been announced with posters, including the batch that is being applied, in in this case the AI82025, expiring in August 2023.
The doses had already been applied there and the staff in charge reported that an hour and a half after the start of the service, about 20 people had already come to be vaccinated, including María Inés Beltran, a neighbor of Portales Norte, who is came with her granddaughter to ask if there was reinforcements for the covid, and they informed him of the Abdala.
He said it is no coincidence that he found the booster because he had not heard of the Cuban vaccine or that today it would begin to be applied and he wanted a fifth dose “to be well protected. Thank God it didn’t hit me.”
Even the Dr. Rafael Carrillo health center, in Iztapalapa, seemed empty and did not display any signs to inform about the availability of organic and only people came to request the flu vaccine and mothers who brought their children for the first or second second brand Pfizer dose covid for children 5 to 11 years old.
