The best prevention is to take the vaccine, "said Secretary of Health, Jorge Solla, returning to emphasize that the vaccine is safe.
According to SESAB, another risk group that had less than optimal vaccination is to the chronically ill. Only 38% of those under age of 60 years, sought to put to vaccinate. Among the chronic patients over 60 years, the vaccination rate was good - more than 82% have been vaccinated.
The stage of youth 20-29 years had a 60% vaccination. Already the group 30-39 years had only 20% of target population vaccinated. Worldwide, more than 300 million people have been vaccinated.
