This is the date for the start of Covid vaccination for children from 5 to 11 years old in Hidalgo

Pachuca.- Hidalgo has planned the vaccination against Covid-19 of around 330 thousand children between five and 11 years of age, which will begin next Tuesday, said the delegate of Social Programs of the Federal Government, Abraham Mendoza Zenteno.

He specified that the vaccination day in this entity will start in the municipalities of Pachuca, Zempoala and Mineral de la Reforma where 14 offices will be installed to serve a population of 48,960 infants.

He pointed out that the logistics will be the same as that developed in the vaccination of adults. For this age range it is the biological of the Pfizer company which arrived in the country last week.

He indicated that according to the Inegi, in Hidalgo there is a population of around 330 thousand children likely to receive the vaccine, however this will depend on the willingness of their parents.

There are barely 30% registrations, they expect it to increase over the course of the week

He accepted that barely 30 percent of this population was registered online, but considered that it will be in the course of the week as the figures advance.

Regarding the amparos filed by the PRD to care for minors with the vaccine, he said that this was impossible because the biological did not exist in the country.

He stated that not even with a court order could proceed since Mexico lacked a biological, which although it is from Pfizer, it is a lower concentration than that used in adults.

In these years around 30 amparos have been attended, most of them in adolescents, he indicated.
