Through the Federal Health Council (COFESA), the Nation’s Minister of Health, Carla Vizzotti, in a meeting with the country’s health authorities, announced the application of the third reinforcement of the vaccine against Covid-19.
Despite the fact that the situation of the global pandemic of Covid-19 is more controlled than in 2020 (the main year of infections worldwide), a resurgence in Europe alerted health systems around the world. In the UK, hospitalizations from this illness grew 31% in just one week.
Due to the high transmissibility of the virus and the numbers from Europe, the health authorities of our country decided to get to work on the issue of Covid-19. This is why Vizzotti led a meeting at COFESA that ended with the determination of the application of a third reinforcement for the population.
Through the social network Twitter, Vizzotti published: “We are going to move forward with the application of the third reinforcement of the vaccine against Covid-19 throughout the country”, the minister also assured that the country has “the necessary vaccines to advance with this strategy.”
The reinforcement against Covid-19 It will be available to people who applied the second booster at least 120 days ago, with priority for those who have risk conditions or are over 50 years of age.
