Deployed teams
For her part, Briceida Figueroa, Coordinator of the Expanded Immunization Program (PAI), from the “República de Chile” National Educational Unit in Barcelona, reported yesterday that under the slogan “I’m in for Vaccines!” the teams will remain deployed in the basic and general secondary Initial Education Centers (CEI) to attract the student population, as well as in itinerant stands located in the Plazas Bolívar of the different municipalities, communities and places with the greatest influx of people.
Figueroa pointed out that the PAI received more than 120,000 doses of biologicals from the Ministry of Popular Power for Health (MPPS), which will guarantee the totally free application, thanks to the policies of President Nicolás Maduro, and which are promoted by the governor Luis Marcano to avoid immunopreventable diseases.
He reiterated the call to mothers, fathers and representatives to go to the health center closest to their home in search of the corresponding vaccine according to their age group.
