Given the high number of Covid-19 infections in this fourth wave, legislators from the MAS and the Citizen Community (CC) ask to maintain the validity of supreme decrees 4640 and 4641 on the requirement of the vaccination card against the coronavirus and regret that some immunized people promote rejection of immunization.
“Those who do not want to be vaccinated have to have their PCR or at least their nasal antigen result. Those who are leading, I regret that he is a rural teacher who, having his vaccination card, was inciting them not to get vaccinated”, indicated MAS senator Félix Ajpi.

For his part, CC deputy Alejandro Reyes pointed out: “The compulsory nature of the card has to be maintained, this is perhaps the only way to vaccinate people who, in this case, are encouraged not to be vaccinated by this group.”
This Sunday, the Deputy Minister of Management of the Health System, Álvaro Terrazas, reported that the requirement for the Covid-19 vaccine card will come into force again from January 26, although it is expected that there will be “certain tolerances”.

The person in charge of taking nasal antigen samples from the Ambulatory Reference Center (CRA) in El Alto, Gabriel Ticona, reported that about 50% of the people who are tested for coronavirus are positive.

The doctor pointed out that between 70 and 80 nasal antigen tests are carried out every day and priority is given to people who present any symptoms or who have been in contact with a positive case.
