has reported.
The campaign was possible thanks to the articulated efforts of Minsa, the Social Health Insurance System (EsSalud), Metropolitan Solidarity System (Sisol), Armed Forces, National Police, district municipalities, and Regional Health Directorates (Diresa).
In a statement, Minsa has indicated that the vaccination process will continue this weekend (April 17-18), while those, who cannot attend on any of these dates, can do so on April 19-20.
"We remind the vaccinated population that a second dose is required for an adequate protection, which will be administered after 21 days.
The vaccine does not prevent COVID-19 infection. Therefore, preventive measures, such as the use of two face masks, hand washing and avoiding crowds, should be maintained," it indicated.
