Tijuana

In Baja California, 60% of the first batch of doses against Covid-19 for children between the ages of five and 11 have been applied as part of the vaccination campaign that began a week ago, the state Health Secretariat reported.

Until noon this Tuesday, 1,825 vaccines had been applied in the state, between first and second doses, as well as reinforcements. Of the total, 1,12 were applied in Tijuana.

The campaign began on August 30 after the return to school and the Secretary of Health in Baja California, Adrián Medina Amarillas, indicated that they would begin to use a first batch of three thousand doses of 10 thousand that will arrive in the state.

From Thursday, August 31, until noon this Tuesday, around 70 minors had attended the module installed in the Issstecali clinic in the Las Palmas neighborhood, said Ana Miriam Hernández, one of the nurses in charge of the vaccination site.

He mentioned that most of the mothers who bring their children found out about the campaign through social networks.

Alejandra took her six-year-old daughter to receive the first dose of the vaccine and said that her sister was the one who told her about the vaccination campaign.

She mentioned that so far the school her daughter attends has not detected Covid-19 infections, but her six-month-old nephew who attends a nursery did get it.

Karen Arce, another mother, took her eight-year-old daughter to receive the third booster of the vaccine after seeing the announcement on social networks.

He added that the primary school attended by the minor had not been informed about the vaccination campaign.

In Tijuana, the vaccination points that will continue to be active until September 8 are the Health Services Jurisdiction, from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and the Issstecali clinics located in Las Palmas and Mariano Matamoros, 8 a.m. :00 to 1:00 p.m.

Ana Miriam Hernández said that given the low influx of minors during the mornings, they began to schedule the application of the vaccine in order not to waste the doses.

He added that most people start arriving after noon, once the infants are out of school.

Just over 60 minors have attended the Covid-19 vaccination module, installed in the Issstecali clinic in the Las Palmas neighborhood in Tijuana.

Ana Miriam Hernández, one of the nurses in charge of vaccination, indicated that they began vaccinating on August 31 and that most of the mothers who bring their children found out about the campaign through social networks, while a few others arrive by have been informed in educational centers.

Last week, the Secretary of Health in Baja California, Adrián Medina Amarillas, indicated that before the return to school they would begin to apply the reinforcement of the pediatric Pfizer vaccine to children between 5 and 11 years of age.

Alejandra, who took her six-year-old daughter to receive the first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, said that her sister was the one who gave her the notice of the reactivation of the campaigns.

“My sister works at the Ministry of Education, she told me where they were vaccinating and that there have been cases, so it is super important that they apply it,” he said.

She mentioned that so far the school her daughter attends has not detected Covid-19 infections, but her six-month-old nephew who attends a nursery did get it.

Tijuana.- Given the rebound in Covid-19 cases, a batch of vaccines arrived in Baja California to immunize children between the ages of five and 11, reported the state health secretary, Adrián Medina Amarillas.

The official specified that a total of 10,000 Pfizer biologicals will arrive in the state, with 3,000 already beginning to be applied this week in public places and schools in the state.

Medina Amarillas explained that this age group will be attended to, because a lag in immunization against the virus was detected.

“It is not an alert call, or anything, it is a population with less risk but it is to ensure that it is protected,” he added.

He mentioned that the batch will continue to be applied in the remainder of the year, urging parents to take their children to be immunized.

“Vaccinate the children, not because there is a risk of the pandemic restarting, if they have not received the vaccine, they will be protected when they receive it, but it is for peace of mind when the students are in the classroom,” he commented.
