The head of the local health portfolio, Dr. Luis Medina Ruiz, visited the important vaccination and control of cardiovascular risk factors operation carried out in Caja Popular of the province, promoted by legislator Hugo Ledesma and the Government of Tucumán.
The minister thanked the generosity of Caja Popular and its directors for working in coordination with the Provincial Government, which heads the CPN. Osvaldo Jaldo, and that allowed the initiative to be possible: “We also want to thank legislator Hugo Ledesma, today we have the Caja Popular trailer with our human resources vaccinating, saving lives, protecting our population from developing a serious form of Covid; “We are also giving vaccines against flu and pneumonia.”
In this context, the official reiterated that it is essential to take into account that the vaccine protects against developing a serious form of the disease and that in the world there is a rebound in cases: “In Tucumán we have a non-significant increase in cases and patients with mild symptoms. We want this to continue like this, which is why it is very important that anyone who is over 50 years old and does not have the six doses received, comes forward to receive the vaccination. Starting today, Thursday, you can go here, in front of the Plaza Independencia on the Caja Popular sidewalk, and if you have fewer doses, but more than six months have passed since the last one, this is the time to place the reinforcements.”
Following this line Medina Ruiz He highlighted that the opportunity was taken to provide coverage in addition to the control of risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, for which a blood pressure checkpoint was installed, where a small survey is done to those who approach: “We are finding several patients with dangerous blood pressures, above 180 maximum, values that indicate that an excess in food, salt consumption or intense stress can cause the pressure to rise a little more and that person can have a stroke. Here we are preventing, recommending, vaccinating and this is the way in which the Ministry of Health approaches the people.”
The representative of the Siprosa Immunization program, doctor Miguel Ferre Contrerascommented that on this occasion all the vaccines on the National Calendar are available: “People of any age can come and get vaccinated, mothers and fathers can come with their children, pregnant women who have their own schedule and, of course, the vaccine. Covid is available, given the global increase in cases, it is highly recommended that if more than six months have passed since the last one, regardless of the number of doses received, they attend and receive a booster.
“The reception from the population has been very good. Many people have passed by the blood pressure control stand, it has been possible to detect people who had values outside the recommended limits and who have already received their counseling and have been referred for a more complete control and regarding vaccination, More than 100 people have already been vaccinated and since we are giving all types of vaccines, there are more than 100 doses that we are giving,” said Ferre Contreras, while adding that adults must have a complete vaccination schedule against hepatitis B, with double bacterial and triple viral, since they are vaccines that protect against tetanus, cockroach, chickenpox, rubella and measles.
Likewise, the representative said that the Vaccination Brigade carries out operations constantly, both in closed places and on public roads and that they will remain in place for as long as people’s demand is maintained.
Finally, the legislator Hugo Ledesma thanked the controller of Caja Popular, Jose Cesar Diaz and his sub-intervenor Darius Amatiwhich, in collaboration with the Ministry of Public Health, made the Caja Popular trailer and the health ministry staff available to vaccinate the community.
“We all know that Covid cases have increased again in the world, so the vaccination table must be updated. There are people who have never even been vaccinated yet and others who have two or three vaccines, but are already in a position to strengthen their immunity. In my particular case, I was entitled to a booster, so I was just vaccinated and I think we have to plan ahead so that we don’t have to regret later,” the official reflected and called on society as a whole to be aware and stop by Caja Popular, just meters away. from Plaza Independencia, to receive coverage.
