“Minsa’s Expanded Immunization Program Receives New Shipment of Bivalent Vaccines to Reinforce National Program”

The Ministry of Health (Minsa) through the Expanded Immunization Program (PAI) reports the arrival of the shipment with No. 8 vaccines, this time a new batch of 14,400 doses of bivalent vaccines, which will reinforce the National Immunization Program. Continuous vaccination for people over 12 years of age developed by the National Government, as stated by Itzel S. de Hewitt, national coordinator of the PAI.

Hewitt indicated that “this new batch of vaccines will be distributed to the different regions, which is pending to be applied to the population.”

“The denominator that we have taken as a starting point is all those people who received their two doses of monovalent vaccines,” Hewitt pointed out.

The Minsa reiterates to the population that due to the rainy season, respiratory viruses are on the prowl and it is recommended that the population go to health centers, sub-centers, and police centers throughout the country. Vaccines save lives and are free.
