In the vaccination scheme for minors there was a 20 percent lag, this due to the fact that in previous years there was a shortage of biologicals, however a strategy was carried out last year to be able to reach said population and complete it, indicated the head of the Durango Health Secretariat (SSD), Irasema Kondo Padilla.

He emphasized that the lag in the infant stage was due to the fact that for seasons there was no biological BCG, that is, the vaccine against tuberculosis, as well as the pentavalent one, in view of this, brigades were launched to cover the child population in time and form. And health personnel searched even at home for girls and boys who did not have the complete scheme to vaccinate them, just as in each Health Fair vaccination modules were installed.
The state official currently commented that the Ministry of Health has all the biologicals to complete the vaccination schemes, and stressed that the National Public Health Day was held from July 10 to 21, which has the objective that the entire population knows what services the Ministry of Health offers and what preventive actions are those that must be adopted in each day.
He added that the vaccination program is permanent, especially for children and the elderly.
Kondo Padilla invited the population so that when they see health personnel in public places where there is a greater influx of people, that they come to complete the vaccination schedules for minors and the general population.
Regarding the vaccine against Covid-19, he commented that the vaccination campaign is permanent, to date the biological Abdala is applied, which at first the people of Durango were reluctant to apply, but it already has a high percentage of acceptance.
In the state of Durango, more than 80 percent of the population already has a booster dose and the vaccine is available for the first dose or booster dose in all health centers, the Health Secretary concluded.
