“With the efforts of all health professionals involved in this vaccination process, we have managed to overcome the 70% barrier, in third doses,” said Zúñiga.
Now, Junín is among the top ten regions that meet this objective at the national level, however there are still gaps, the official said. He urged the population to meet their missing doses in children, youth, adults and the elderly.
Zuniga recalled that the application of the fourth dose of the vaccine against Covid-19 for people over 18 years of age is now available in the vaccination centers and the application of the vaccine must be carried out 5 months after receiving the third dose.
For its part, through ministerial resolution 704-2022, the national vaccination plan was updated, including the age group between 6 months and 4 years, so that they are immunized against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. For this new age group, of minors, we are waiting for the arrival of the vaccines, since for them it is a special dose.

Last weekend, an increase of 169 new cases of Covid-19 was registered, which is why it is important to strengthen defenses.
