Although the agenda was scheduled to open on Tuesday, from Monday the system enabled people of this age range to register. “It was completed in a few hours, given the good adherence of the population to vaccination,” said the minister.
This population will receive the Coronavac vaccine, from the Sinovac laboratory, from a batch of 1,558,000 that will arrive this afternoon at the Carrasco airport and will be available at the vaccinations from Thursday.
As confirmed by the Ministry of Public Health, at various times due to the traffic generated since Monday night, the four ways to schedule were saturated, leaving the system disabled on repeated occasions and causing severe delays.
Minister Daniel Salinas himself reported that WhatsApp has a limit of simultaneous users (16,000) and that at this time there is “great simultaneous concurrence.”
Hello ! The web continues to answer, the WhatsApp is with a limit of users, when it passes many at the same time, it puts a warning sign so as not to be blocked. Great simultaneous turnout.
