11:01 | Lima, Jul. 17.

Congress Chairwoman Mirtha Vasquez on Saturday highlighted the work carried out by health personnel in charge of the vaccination against COVID-19 nationwide.

Likewise, the dignitary called on Peruvians to get vaccinated in accordance with the schedule established by the Health Ministry, while highlighting the protection provided by the vaccine.

"We must recognize all efforts being undertaken by health personnel. I want to tell the population to go get vaccinated (…) because the vaccine is the best shield we have for now," she expressed on the occasion.

Vasquez arrived this morning at the Vacunacar (vaccination drive-thru) located at Agua Dulce Beach in Lima's Chorrillos district to receive the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

The vaccination of people aged 45 and 46 began in Lima and Callao today, within the framework of the second Vaccinathon.

As is known, the non-stop event kicked off at 7:00 a.m. (local time) will end on Sunday at 7:00 p.m. at 22 authorized vaccination sites.
