vacunacion refuerzo 1

It seems that immunizing against COVID-19 at this point is "old news"; however, it has been the booster doses with Abdala and Soberana that have made the difference in confronting the virus, especially when the omicron variant threatened to spread the contagion.

Now the application of the first booster in the population aged 12 and over, and the second booster among those over 19, have coincided in time, while this August 3 the administration campaign of the first booster began for children from two to 11 years old.

According to the evaluations of Beatriz Barrera Lastre, official of the Provincial Vaccination Team, the province fulfills the purposes established for the date, ranking in the first positions at the country level, although this does not exclude delays in attending vaccinations, which slow down the process and require the return of intact bottles to their original cold chain every day.

The most obvious example is provided by Numey Venegas Ulloa, head of Vaccination in the Municipal Unit of Hygiene and Epidemiology of the main territory, because of an initial planning of 36 sites that children from 2 to 11 years old could attend, due to the low influx the figure was reduced to 19. A 94 percent of those immunized in this age range end up confirming that the rate is not ideal.

However, Barrera Lastre provides other favorable global statistics: “The reinforcement has been applied to 298,217 people over 12 years of age, for 99.5 percent compliance; in the group over 19 years of age, around 168,101 individuals, we have reached one hundred percent of the universe predicted to date, and, in the case of children, we have reached 96 percent immunization.”

Both specialists insist on establishing dates and it is for obvious reasons, since one of the requirements to receive the booster is to have completed six months since the last dose or the primary regimen and, if the person became ill, the same period must elapse after discharge from the clinic.

For these purposes, all Family Doctor and Nurse Offices (CMF) remain enabled in the province, except in the municipality of Ciego de Ávila, where there are 81 certificates, in addition to the five points established in the polyclinics of each area of health. In turn, human resources, technique and immunogens are guaranteed.

It is logical to think that the greatest efforts are concentrated today in the campaign that began on August 3 and, although progress is being made precisely, in September, when another group reaches the deadline, the universe changes and the chain of actions begins again. Let's not leave for tomorrow the puncture that touches today.
