RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – The second phase of the national vaccination plan against Covid-19 in Guatemala, for people over 70 years of age, is progressing slowly due to the population’s distrust of the vaccine and the lack of access to the virtual registry of the Ministry of Public Health and Social Assistance.
With 1,035 vaccination centers set up in the 22 departments of the Central American country, the health ministry has only administered the complete scheme (two doses) of vaccination to 2,521 people and the first dose to 257,247 people since it began to apply immunizers on February 25.
