12:35 | Lima, Feb. 18. No healthcare worker will remain unvaccinated thanks to the second batch of 700,000 COVID-9 vaccine doses, which Peru received a few days ago, Health Minister Oscar Ugarte reported on Thursday.
On the second day of immunization against COVID-19 at Arzobispo Loayza Hospital in Lima the minister asked health staff to stay calm since there is a clear immunization schedule that will be scrupulously followed. With these 700,000 doses that have arrived, no one will remain unvaccinated. I ask professionals and co-workers to have peace of mind. Everyone will be vaccinated in Lima and all other regions, he explained.

11:37 | Lima, Feb. 19. The Peruvian Ministry of Health on Friday received a donation of 60 mechanical and 40 multi-parameter ventilators from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. This donation exceeded US$700,000.
The equipment will be destined for various hospitals nationwide where critical and moderate patients affected by COVID-19 are being treated. We appreciate this donation for the value it has in saving lives. Likewise, I want to emphasize that the collaboration from the United Kingdom to the Peruvian health system is historical and very friendly, he said.

17:10 | Lima, Feb. 10. The Ministry of Health (Minsa) has amended Ministerial Resolution 195-2021/Minsa to ensure that every person who provides services in different areas of the health sector has access to the first phase of COVID-19 vaccination, regardless of the nature of their employment and contractual relationship.
Additionally, the above-mentioned regulation annuls the addendum containing information for healthcare professionals on eligibility for the COVID-19 vaccine.
This is because scientific evidence related to COVID-19 vaccines does not show possible risks associated with special health conditions, such as allergies, reactions to food or drugs, weakened immune system (caused by cancer, HIV/AIDS, leukemia, etc.), or the application of a purified protein derivative (PPD) skin test used to detect tuberculosis in pregnant women, among others.
