People from risk groups are already being vaccinated in the municipalities of Cabaiguán, Jatibonico, Taguasco and Fomento, the four territories to where the immunization program with Abdala has been extended in the province of Sancti Spíritus.
According to Dr. Manuel Rivero Abella, provincial health director, the immunization includes people over 60 years of age and those aged 19 to 59 who have heart disease, diabetes or are morbidly obese.
In order to carry out this process, several vaccination sites have been set up with the corresponding biosecurity conditions in health facilities, educational institutions and work centers, he added.
