Persons between 35 and 49 years of age who have completed any chronic condition before receiving the vaccine against the Covid-19 from the beginning of the week, announced by the secretary designated by Salud, Carlos Mellado, as part of a new flexibility of the requisites.
In addition, any person over 50 years of age or older, regardless of their state of health, will be eligible for inoculation against the virulent virus. Until the end of this week, people aged 50 to 59 will be vaccinated only if they are chronically ill.
The recommendation:
“Sea diabetes, hypertension, asthma, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), multiple sclerosis, cancer, all types of chronic condition and qualify for evacuation”, Mellado said late in the press conference.
People with chronic illnesses are included in the subphase 1-C of the evacuation process, the stage which contains certain categories which he concludes his inoculation, as is the case with the correctional population.
Mellado recalculates that from the moon, equally, arranges the vacancy of employees of the food industry, as the wife adelanto the wife of the National Guard, José Reyes.
Workers’ food chain finds itself in the subphase 1-B and, together with the employees of the corridor and the manufacturing industry, their units in this vacancy with which they have not commenced, in agreement with the digital table of Department of Health.
“We are going to start vacating what the food industry is (employed as working in clothing) since the food has been available for your month. This means that we are evacuating knives, people from the food industry, who work directly with the manufacture “, the designated secretary said.
The amplification of the immunization process is being produced so that, at the moment, Puerto Rico is receiving a minimum amount of brand vacancies Johnson & Johnson, which requires a single dose, as opposed to the Pfizer y Modern, as precisely dos.
Mellado estimates that this week, in that Salud received 3,000 doses of Johnson & Johnson, the federal government distributed to the island about 106,000 doses in total, taking into account the vacancies sent directly to the pharmacy programs of the community and of great cadenas. The agency now has 80,000 weekly vacancies under its control.
“They van dando vacunas en la medida en que van produciendo. From Pfizer we have 41,500 (seminal doses) and we start with 20,000. Equally modern, we have 35,000. The expectation is that Johnson will increase in the media while manufacturing, ”Mellado said, indicating that Johnson & Johnson’s vacancy rate is declining next week.
In another case, Mellado presented some projections that, following an explanation, reflect the decision made by Tomud Salud in February, to restrict the vacancy to people aged 65 or over. According to the graphic, the administrative order of the lodge will be 18,553 confirmed cases of Covid-19 and 135 deaths that, since no decision was taken, will be registered between February and 15 June.
“We focus on patients over the age of 65 and follow the priority given to those who are based on statistics. “More than 85% of the population is 65 years old,” said Salud.
Although Mellado is very optimistic about the pace of evacuation, of a 100,000 first dose administered semen, reconstruction that had been given a false sense of security that resulted in an increase in the number of cases registered with Covid-19 in the última semana.
This tendency, admissions, the preoccupation of cara what will be the Semana Santa, a period that ordinary is performed for the agglomerations, especially in the playgrounds, and the legacy of tourists.
More than 80% of the transmission of the virus is communitarian, succeeding in activities such as this, agglomerations, family activities without protection. There are sequels that exhort to the city that work with it. Creo que mucha gente ha viso la vacuna, y sé que es la luz al final del camino … pero vamos a vacunar en el orden (establecido) ”, expresses Mellado, quien n anticipo medidas adidionale del goberno, más alla de reforzar la vigilance.
