In an interview for Noticias Caracol, Jaramillo spoke about his experience with the vaccine, its side effects and also expressed his opinion on the work of the Government of Colombia in dealing with the distribution of the drug against covid-19.

The ENT told Noticias Caracol about the process to access the vaccine. He explained that at his workplace they sent him a form that he had to fill out if he considered that, because of his work and because he was a health professional, the application of the vaccine was necessary.

After this procedure, he was assigned an appointment and when the day arrived, he approached the point that had been indicated to carry out the procedure. He assured that after the vaccine was applied, he had to wait around fifteen minutes to see if any side effects were manifested.

Regarding side effects, Jaramillo assured that media that during the procedure he was given a brochure in which some of the symptoms that could be experienced after the application of the vaccine were mentioned, such as “malaise or a fever very low”. However, the doctor assured in his interview that he did not feel any side effects and was able to resume his work activities immediately. Jaramillo also specified to Noticias Caracol that the dose should be applied within a month.

Finally, the ENT assured that media that Colombia “took a long time to purchase” the vaccine, but once it reaches the country “we need everyone’s cooperation, it is something we must do, it is a duty not a right“.
