A repeated call to get vaccinated against COVID-19 was formulated by the director of the Cauquenes Municipal Health Department, kinesiologist Alejandra Landeros Garrido, to the population as a way to reinforce the vaccination strategy against the pandemic, with the bivalent vaccine.
Since last January 16, the target groups for immunization with the bivalent vaccine have been expanded. In this sense, Alejandra Landeros reiterated the call to the target groups to come to the vaccination center, located on San Francisco street, next to the Aula Magna of the Antonio Varas high school, to receive the free dose of the bivalent vaccine, recalling the importance that citizens get vaccinated, since we need to continue taking care of ourselves, because the pandemic continues and the risk of catching it is always present.
′′ We are as a Department reinforcing the vaccination campaign, so the invitation is for citizens to be inoculated. The vaccination center is open from Monday to Friday from 9:12 a.m. to 5:40 p.m., the staff is available, what we need is for them to come so that we can better face the winter season; this pandemic has not disappeared and the idea is that people are protected and immunized”.
