City of Juarez.- A little more than two months after the suspension of the anti-Covid vaccination day for five-year-old children after the exhaustion of doses on August 10, according to the Ministry of Welfare, about 20 thousand children are still waiting.
When consulted, Elizabeth Guzmán Argueta, the regional coordinator, said she was waiting for central authorities to assign the missing antivirals.
In this municipality 155 thousand 744 doses have been officially applied to children aged six to eleven. Therefore, missing pediatric patients account for 12 percent of that total number of biologicals placed.
“We do not have a confirmed date, we are waiting for the state coordination to assign the organic,” the official said. In the meantime, he urged parents to register their children in My Vaccine and to be aware of when vaccination dates for that age group will be announced.
Last September Juan Carlos Loera de la Rosa, federal delegate in Chihuahua, reported that the injections that will be used for pediatric patients will be of the Pfizer formula, as it is the one approved in Mexico by the Federal Commission for the Protection from Health Risks (Cofepris) to use among the little ones. “The one with the minors is Pfizer, it’s the only one,” the server said at a press conference in Ciudad Juárez.
Meanwhile, in the same way as Guzmán Argueta, he invited guardians to write minors under his care on the official page, https://mivacuna.salud.gob.mx/index.php. Once the Code of the Single Population Registry has been entered in the section of the site, they will be able to access the immunization form, which – Loera specified – must take printed and pre-filled in to the relevant offices.
It remains stable
For now, the coronavirus has shown stability. However, so far in the contingency, 61,916 cases have been documented on this border; of these, 4 thousand 682 are victims. For this reason, the appeal of those in charge is to maintain a preventive culture that helps to advance the well-being of the community and economic development.
I have not forgotten!
• To register minors, you need to go to https://mivacuna.salud.gob.mx/index.php
• Pfizer vaccines are approved by Cofepris for use in minors.
• Its application helps prevent Covid from worsening, putting health and life at risk
