He clarified that these vaccines were available since the Vaccination of the Americas campaign began, but as the number of cold cases with stronger symptoms has increased, in recent weeks the increase in the number of children who bring the flu dose to be administered, has been considerably noted.

Parents are also reminded that when bringing the infant to be injected, they must bring the vaccination card, since the rest of the vaccines that are part of the Vaccination Schedule will be included.
