The figure, which would have been reflected in a document from the Ministry of Health, indicates that there will be 50,000 doses of the vaccine from Pfizer and BioNTech that will arrive in the country on February 18 to begin vaccination, reported that media.

Medellín, for its part, would have about 2,500, Cali will have 2,200, Barranquilla will receive 1,273 (on February 19) and Boyacá will go 1,336. Then the cities that already have freezing mechanisms will follow, the information added.
