The Municipality of Concordia carried out a new Free Vaccination Day for people over 60 years of age within the framework of the comprehensive care policies promoted by the Department of Senior Citizen Policies, under the Undersecretariat of Development and Entrepreneurship, in coordination with the Secretariat of Health.
During the activity, tetanus, pneumococcal, COVID-19, hepatitis B, and flu vaccines were administered, reaching over 100 people.
Melina Simonetti, representative of the Municipal Epidemiological Node for Immunizations, highlighted: “It is essential to bring these campaigns to older adults, not only for health coverage but for the message of collective care. The response was very positive, and we worked with commitment to ensure a safe and effective process.”
For her part, Gladys Portugal, head of the Department of Senior Citizen Policies, stated: “The health of our older adults is a priority. These sessions allow us to promote equitable access to rights and strengthen prevention as a public policy. We thank every person who attended and the entire team that made this day possible.”
The event was attended by councilwoman Verónica del Boca, the Undersecretary of Development and Entrepreneurship, Gabriel Enguelberg, and the Director of Cooperativism and Associativism, Ariel Gorostegui, who accompanied the activity along with health authorities and technical staff.
The Municipality announced that it will continue with these types of decentralized actions to facilitate access to free, quality public health, especially for the most vulnerable sectors.
