The National Cancer Institute reported that next Wednesday at 7 in the morning, Rocío Pérez, the head nurse of emergencies who treats patients with covid-19, will be the first worker of that entity to receive the vaccine against covid-19 , which could become the first person to be immunized in the country.
This hospital center was one of those prioritized by the Bogotá Mayor’s Office among the first seven in the capital where health workers will be immunized with Pfizer vaccines. 1,323 professionals and employees are registered in that entity who face the covid-19 in the front line.
Lina Trujillo, deputy director of medical care and teaching at the National Cancer Institute, explained that this healthcare center will receive the vaccines very early on Wednesday and at 7 in the morning the immunization will begin with the dose that Nurse Pérez will receive.
The second dose will have to be applied within 28 days, with a new batch, Trujillo explained.
Those in charge of applying the vaccine will be officials from the central eastern network of the Ministry of Health. Specifically, eight groups of vaccinators will carry out the process in this place.
It is worth remembering that 12,562 of the first 50,000 doses that landed in Colombia this Monday will be distributed over two days in seven hospitals in Bogotá.
Also, that during the first stage of the National Vaccination Plan it is expected to immunize about 350,000 front-line health workers. When this group is finished, about 1.2 million people over 80 years of age will begin to be vaccinated.
