Panama follows up on the data generated in the United States on combined vaccines against covid-19 and influenza.
“New vaccines are being developed, combined vaccines. In the United States of America there are several laboratories working on this subject. We hope that between October and November in the United States the FDA will authorize at least two combined vaccines, assured the director of the National Secretariat of Science and Technology (Senacyt), Eduardo Ortega.
He explained that there are laboratories that are already combining the influenza vaccine with the covid-19 vaccine “so that in the future you can be vaccinated with one that has both viruses.”
Ortega added that it is being “followed up, analyzing the data that is generated and it is possible that in Panama we will have access to a combined vaccine once it is implemented in the United States.”
After the approval and implementation in the United States and the acquisition of the combined vaccine, “we can then potentially enter the process of an annual vaccination if the behavior of the viral variants allows it and if the behavior of the pandemic in the country epidemiologically allows it. “, said.
