From April 20 to 27, Vaccination Week in the Americas and the 13th World Immunization Week are commemorated, with the call to action "Act now to protect your future. Get vaccinated.”
For this reason, the Health Secretariat of the Municipality of Concordia will be carrying out various activities in the Primary Health Care Centers (CAPS). The objective is to provide greater accessibility to vaccines, as well as to raise awareness in the community about the importance of achieving and maintaining adequate vaccination coverage; therefore, it is recalled that this is a responsible act, mandatory and a right of all people.
Argentina has one of the most complete vaccination schedules in Latin America. Vaccines are safe and effective for preventing and reducing the most severe manifestations of many diseases.
