THE COLLEGE OF PROFESSIONALS WILL BE ENABLED AS A VACCINATION CENTER
Colmedegua added that, as of April 7, there will be a fourth vaccination center, which will be located in the building of the College of Professionals, located at 0 street 15-46 of zone 15, El Maestro neighborhood.
This center will attend from Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and the documents described above must be presented.
Colmedegua added that in order to expedite the vaccination process that will be carried out in the Professional Association, the Individual Registration process must be previously completed, in the MSPAS Registration System, “since it is a mandatory condition to access the vaccine”. It can be completed at the web address https://registrovacunacovid.mspas.gob.gt
COLMEDEGUA DEMANDED THAT ACCESS TO THE VACCINE BE GUARANTEED
On March 25, through a statement, Colmedegua demanded that the MSPAS guarantee access to the Covid-19 vaccine for all health professionals, including private doctors, adding up to a total of 12 thousand doctors.
This pronouncement was derived from the inoculation process with which the Health portfolio began, which initially excluded 60 percent of professionals.
