“You do not need a prescription or evaluation from a doctor, you just pay and go to the doctor’s office to apply it.”
Any medical indication? “No, none“, responded the clerk at Farmacias del Ahorro, Calzada Del Valle branch, in San Pedro Garza García.
Milenio published this Friday that Antonio Pascual Feria, president of the National Association of Pharmacies of Mexico, AC (Anafarmex), the vaccine would not be sold without a prescription since it was a measure to prevent the black market.

Vaccine against covid-19 must be applied in a doctor’s office: specialist
Health sector personnel considered that the sale of vaccines will be of great help to prevent the diseasebut warned that there must be special attention in the distribution of doses.
In an interview for Telediario, the doctor Carlos Alberto González Romopointed out that the dose will be applied only under medical recommendation or prescription and in no case will the person take the medication, that is, it will be applied on the spot.
“The prescription that is needed, the vaccines as such are given by the doctors, patients cannot go buy the vaccine and apply it themselves, the preferable thing will be to go to the doctor’s office or even in a pharmacy that has their doctor as such, he asks the patient to buy the vaccine and he is going to apply it himself, especially since he has to wait at least 15 minutes to see if there is no allergic reaction that may occur.
He expressed that the ideal is to take as a basis the procedure that is currently done for the application of the vaccine against influenza.
“An example, here they arrive with us, I question them, they sign a consent form because we ask if they have had a fever in the last few days, if they have used antibiotics in the last 15 days and if they have any illnesses or allergies to any previous vaccine. influenza that may contraindicate not giving the injection, a quick medical history and an examination can also be done to confirm that there is no contraindication.”
