There is no excuse for not getting vaccines! In order to continue the vaccination process and Peruvians are immunized against COVID-19, Minsa continues to organize campaigns to complete the schemes.
That is why, the director of immunization of the Ministry of Health, María Elena Martínez, recalled that thanks to the strategy “I vaccinate Peru, complete the dose you lack”, today Sunday, April 10, there will be various vaccination points in Lima and the rest of the country so that the whole family can complete this process and thus avoid new waves.
People who have not yet applied the first dose or still have the second, third or fourth dose pending, if they are over 70 years old, can do so on Sunday's day that will end at 7 pm.
The Minsa official stressed that thanks to the strategy, whole families are going to be vaccinated. He also assured that they will not let their guard down, since the challenge is to vaccinate more than 90% of the target population in Peru.
“Vaccines are safe and effective, so vaccination is for the whole family, grandparents can go for their fourth dose, parents for their third, and children for their second, we are waiting for them all with entertaining and fun shows,” said the head of Immunizations.
Martínez reminded parents and caregivers that for the Day of the Peruvian girl and boy there will be raffles for their conceited ones at each vaccination point.
