The National Advisory Commission on Vaccines will meet the Minister of Public Health, Daniel Salinas, to decide whether a possible new vaccination campaign against covid-19 will be carried out by 2023.
“You would think if it acted like a flu virus, it could be necessary. It’s an alternative that they will decide” Salinas said at a press conference.
“We convened the National Vaccine Advisory Commission to tell us how often it will be necessary to be vaccinated. It is an indication that implies a major literature review. And secondly, what kind of vaccines would be recommended. We will see what the scientists decide and we will accompany it from a political point of view“, He added.
Regarding the current health situation, Salinas said covid-19 is “under control”. “Imagine those moments of anguish we experienced as a minister, as a citizen and as a doctor when we had 555 patients admitted to CTI. Today we have four patients across the country. Today 0.04% of patients are hospitalized for and with covid, community circulation today is very low, but it cannot be excluded that it may increase in summer“, he warned.
Last week the MSP launched a call for those who received three or four doses of the anticovid vaccine.
It’s about a ongoing study on SARS-CoV-2 antibody titre. The goal, the ministry indicated, is “to continue to generate national highlight on the behavior of the covid-19”.
