Vaccination is resumed and prevention must continue
A row that presented an average of 30 people waiting It was constantly registered yesterday at the door of the Salesian Polytechnic University (UPS), one of the vaccination points that reopened its doors yesterday to continue the immunization day.
The vaccination plan returns to normal this week, in which the restrictions are maintained after 20:00 from Monday to Friday, and a mandatory confinement over the weekend to reduce COVID-19 infections in the city.
During the early hours of the morning there was confusion among those who had to receive the second dose of vaccine, since over the weekend the Ministry of Public Health reported through social networks that the immunization day for these people was going to be fulfilled in the Poliforo of the Catholic University of Cuenca and in the Bicentennial campus of the University of Azuay, behind Borja school, but the messages sent to their cell phones to schedule the appointment showed them another address.
Ministry technicians reported after 08:00 that the second dose of those who were immunized at the UPS and at the Jefferson Pérez Coliseum during the week of April 5, will be given in the sites that were notified via text message and not only in the two locations advertised on social networks.
There was also fear of not receiving the vaccine properly, this after a viralized video on social networks revealed that a nurse in Guayaquil injected a patient but never crushed the syringe to release the immunization chemicals. In addition, there were those they weren't sure they would get the same brand of vaccine with which they were inoculated at the beginning of the month.
The Zonal Coordination 6 of Health, in charge of Julio Molina, reported that they are attentive so that cases such as Guayaquil are not registered in Cuenca and asked to report those who comment on this type of act. He also specified that the brand of the booster will not be changed for those who have already received the first dose.
While the vaccination plan advances, the beds of the intensive care units (ICU) in the public hospitals of Cuenca remain full, so it is necessary to maintain prevention over the next few weeks
The researcher and doctor, Bernardo Vega, reported that the reports of the Ministry of Health show a slight acceleration of cases in the last week, so he asked citizens to maintain and respect biosecurity measures.
To collaborate in this common goal, agents of the Mobility, Transit and Transport Company (EMOV) addressed the day yesterday urban transport buses to ensure social distancing and ask the public to increase their prevention in the face of the outbreak of COVID-19 infections. (JMM) (I)
