Israel Cedeño assured that they will not deny vaccines against COVID-19 from anyone, but they ask residents from 8-7 to come on the day of their appointment.

Cedeño made a call to the population to attend the application of the doses of the vaccine against COVID-19 according to the appointment assigned through the platform www.vacunas.panamasolidario.gob.pa, where it is indicated date, time and place.

This, in order to avoid crowds and pusher as has been recorded the first day in some vaccination centers by circuit, "we understand that they are eager, but we have vaccines for everyone," said the doctor.

He indicated that "the vaccine is a human right and it is not denied. We will never do it, however, we advocate for citizen conscience, so that they attend the day and time that corresponds to them."
