In the first months of this 2021, according to the national government itself, the process will begin.
The first to receive the medicine will be older than 60 years, older than 16 with any of the nine comorbidities that were defined (including hypertension, diabetes, and cancer) and health personnel.

“The tool already has the databases and thus it will be possible to consult the nominal lists of those who will be vaccinated in the first phases,” said the Minister, in statements collected by the magazine ‘Dinero’.
(See: The story behind a photo of doctors next to the bed of a woman with covid).
He also explained that these databases were created with information reported by the country’s EPS, and that these entities, as well as the IPS, will have the task of reporting “all the diagnoses of their patients to update the waiting line for the vaccine.”
My Vaccine will also allow those who believe that they should receive priority attention to receive the drug to make the request, with all the arguments that support it.

Ruiz made it clear that constant controls and audits will be carried out on the application of the vaccine and asked people not to resort to guardianship to be vaccinated first, but to respect shifts.
Finally, he assured that private vaccinations are allowed, but “They must meet all the requirements demanded by Invima.”
(We recommend: 67% of Colombians would apply the vaccine against covid-19).
Until January 1, 2020, Colombia registered 1.6 million total coronavirus infections (more than 86,000 active) and more than 43,000 deaths.
