In this way, Peru joins the countries of the Americas to celebrate the 21st Vaccination Week in the Americas so that children, adolescents, pregnant women and older adults complete their vaccination. In addition, the Minsa remembers that the Regular Scheme vaccines are always available to all people.
The Minsa reminds families that Peru has one of the best vaccination schemes in the Americas because it includes 18 vaccines against 28 diseases. For this reason, it calls on them to go to the nearest health facility to complete the missing vaccine.
