Peru's Health Minister Pilar Mazzetti visited the warehouse of the
National Center for Supply of Strategic Resources in Health (Cenares), located in Callao, and confirmed the capacity of this place to store 12 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines.
In statements to the media, the minister explained that the warehouse is capable of storing products requiring temperatures of 2-8 degrees Celsius and -20 degrees Celsius.
In addition, it has two 700 cubic meter freezer rooms, and three 40 cubic meter rooms with dual system, that is, they can be set up for refrigeration or freezing.
"In this area, we can receive up to 12 million doses all at once, independent of what has been stored. The doses, of course, arrive in separate shipments and will be distributed to different regions," she explained.
Therefore, half a million people from all subsystems of health care will be vaccinated. The next group to be immunized will be the
Armed Forces and the National Police.
