“We call for reflection on parents so that they authorize the vaccination of their sons or daughters. For us, the main thing is that the vaccines are exhausted, the vaccines that are established at this time for young people between 12 and 17 years old, ”he explained.
Pary indicated that the whole family should be immunized. “What we want is to emphasize that a child is not always infected in the educational unit, it can be infected in the street, in the cable car or in the bus. The responsibility belongs to everyone ”, he reflected.
Vaccination for people between 12 and 18 years of age is authorized in the country. The Government allocated Pfizer vaccines and minors can access immunization with the authorization of their parents.
