Tijuana.- This Monday, different vaccination points for minors between 12 and 13 years of age were enabled in the state, and despite the fact that classes were canceled, the influx of these minors to apply their vaccination dose was very low.
Berenice Espinoza, doctor responsible for the vaccination point of the Institute for Sustainable Mobility (Imos), located on the Tijuana-Tecate free highway, pointed out that 270 Pfizer vaccines were applied out of the thousand destined for this sector of the population.
“There was not the influx that we expected, but it was good, we applied 270 Pfizer doses, we brought a thousand doses, they have not yet confirmed where the vaccination will be tomorrow,” said the person in charge at 1:50 p.m.
Due to this low influx, the Imos vaccination point was removed minutes earlier than expected, since the statement from the Baja California Ministry of Health indicated that the schedule for the application of vaccines would be from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. , but this point was closed at 1:45 p.m. About three people came minutes before 2:00 p.m. but returned without their biological applied.
At this vaccination point, vaccines for those over 18 years of age were also applied, but only 164 people received their biological AstraZeneca of the 500 doses intended, Espinoza mentioned.

“There were quite a few people since we started the vaccination at 8:00 a.m., the line ended at 10:00 a.m., we decided to close minutes before it was 2:00 p.m. because there was little influx,” he added.
Despite the fact that the Pfizer biological, intended for minors, has a life time of 6 hours after its container is opened, no vaccines were wasted this Monday, said the person in charge of vaccination.
