Cofepris gave the green light to pharmacies to sell the COVID-19 vaccine
On December 7, the Federal Commission for the Protection against Health Risks (Cofepris) approved the health registration of vaccines against COVID-19 from Pfizer and Moderna.
Health registration has been granted to the Spikevax vaccine (monovalent XBB.1.5) from ModernaTx. Inc. (requested through its legal representative in Mexico, Asofarma SA de CV) and the Comirnaty vaccine (Ómicron XBB. 1.5) from Pfizer SA de CV
reported in a statement.
In the message, the federal agency called on citizens to responsible application of the biological under medical supervision and not indiscriminately. Vaccines are recommended for people over 6 months of age. Although it is recommended to consult with the doctor regarding the application in people under 5 years of age.
In a radio interview, Dr. Francisco Moreno, director of internal medicine at ABC Hospital, said that the candidates to receive this dose are those who have not received a vaccine from any of these brands since last September. In addition, he recalled that immunity is achieved three weeks after inoculation.
Unlike the vaccines administered by the Government of Mexico, such as Abdala and Sputnik, these new vaccines offer protection against new variants of COVID-19, such as Pirola.
However, just last Tuesday, the Ministry of Health reported that only a single case of infection with this variant had been detected. Therefore, it was ruled out that it represents an alert in the increase in COVID-19 cases.
Given this, and considering the limited availability of vaccines, health authorities recommended maintaining precautions such as the use of face masks in crowded and closed spaces, constant hand washing, and avoiding meetings when presenting symptoms of respiratory illness.
