The head of the Undersecretary of Public Health, Cristóbal Cuadrado, pointed out that the Government of President Gabriel Boric is deploying a series of actions throughout the country, expanding vaccination points against Covid-19 and launching the new campaign “it is time to be vaccinated with ambivalent”.
Undersecretary Cuadrado explained that “we are reaching March with very important degrees of progress with respect to bivalent vaccination with respect to the most risk groups (…) We are working and the figures show it. Getting to start March with a more than 50% of the highest-risk population immunized with the bivalent campaign is a sample of what we have been doing”.
Thus, the current health authority addressed the criticism of the former undersecretary of the government of Sebastián Piñera, Paula Daza, who in an interview with La Tercera accused a lack of strategy by the Minsal and questioned the government’s goal of reaching 80% of the risk population inoculated before winter.
Cristóbal Cuadrado was emphatic: “We are going to make sure that the highest risk groups will reach the goal of 80% vaccination.” In this sense, he assured that within the framework of vaccination against influenza, the target group will be given the possibility of also being inoculated with the bivalent.
“Our health system has years and years of experience (…) we are on the way, we are busy and guaranteeing access to people, so that no one is left without the opportunity to be vaccinated with the bivalent vaccine,” concluded Cuadrado.
