This is an action that certainly takes place in the Health Services of Durango, where flow is established presence in public places like malls, where a specific module is installed where people so desire possible vaccine, provided they have not received the benefits above plus the biologic is completely reliable because it meets the international quality standards and the understanding that it is completely free.

Thus commented Dr. Patricia Hernandez Gutierrez, secretary of health in the state, who also added that this is backed and supported by some major trading firms in the state, as this action is presented in four health districts especially in cities where there are large concentrations of population.

A dependency accounted accountability in the state capital, to install their devices in convenience stores located in Madero subdivision, the Boulevard Francisco Villa and El Eden, another in a business that is on the side of the office Seguro Popular on Avenida 20 de Noviembre and Regato street and also within the ex-barracks Juarez.

The estimated projection of need and goal of vaccines for the uninsured population that is served in the SSD, an approach was made just over 171 thousand vaccines and the scheme is going according to schedule further that starting this week, you start to work indiscriminately with individuals who wish to qualify for this benefit your health preventive voluntarily and in public places.

Among the objectives sought with regard to vaccination, Durango is an entity that historically has met this activity as evidenced in every version of 'National Health Week' and thus remains within well-valued states by the Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine, and the same for the National Immunization Council, the official finally said.
