This Monday, the Ministry of Health announced that more vaccines are reaching the expiration date and are very concerned about the large number of people who refuse to receive anti-COVID doses. From the entity they confirmed that there are 32,000 immunizers that will expire at the end of December. The director of the Expanded Immunization Program (PAI), Dr. Héctor Castro, stated that the biologics that will be released are Moderna and AstraZeneca, the former currently has about 20,000 doses to expire and the latter close to 12,000.
“These doses are not in the regional warehouses, but they are in the thermos of the vaccination brigades traveling house to house,” said Castro. He affirmed that there are a large number of people who, despite being visited, refuse to receive the doses that help prevent the most serious forms of the disease.
He stressed that fewer and fewer people come to the vaccinations to be inoculated and that currently the average application of AstraZeneca vaccines is 6,000 per day. While Moderna’s are 2,000 in one day. “Only at the end of the month will it be known precisely how many will remain as remnants to reach maturity,” he said.

The professional urged citizens to get vaccinated against COVID-19 to have safer parties and that the family can enjoy that meeting without fear. “To have a quiet table at Christmas and New Years, for the love we have for our loved ones. With vaccination the possibility is much less of suffering seriously. Let us no longer be guided by false information ”, he explained.
It should be noted that in November more than 22,500 doses of AstraZeneca vaccines were incinerated and this December there is a high risk that another 30,000 doses will be out of circulation due to the lack of awareness about the importance of being vaccinated.
