Sweep vaccination is aimed at people 16 years of age and older and 12 to 15 with chronic diseases and disabilities.
Chayan Polo, representative of the Omar Torrijos district, in the San Miguelito district, announced that the vaccination goal for this sector of the country has been exceeded.
In this district, which is the fifth with the most cases in the district, three vaccination centers were set up: Los Andes School No. 2, Santiago de la Guardia School, and Domingo Faustino Sarmiento School.
At 6:00 pm this Sunday, August 1, the vaccination sweep with
Pfizer ends in this area, so the authorities recommend going to the vaccination posts to those who reside in the 8-6 circuit and have not applied the
COVID-19
vaccine.
The regional director of Health in San Miguelito, Yaritzel Ríos, explained that on the fourth day of vaccination in this district more than 100,000 people had been immunized. At 10:00 am today, six thousand doses of
vaccine had already been applied, so it is expected that more than 130 thousand people will be immunized.
"People are coming to get the
vaccine, which is positive ... the young people have come in a responsible and orderly manner, there have been lines but they are fluid and the young people make their lines calm," said Ríos, who clarified that if the The goal of the circuit is not reached is because there are people who are infected and cannot be vaccinated, others are outside the country or the circuit, and thousands of others have received the
AstraZeneca COVID-19
vaccine.
