The minister clarified that the supply will be centralized by the European Union, which has made agreements with six companies. The European Union will also contribute to the price of the vaccine so that countries will eventually receive the vaccine at a lower price. There will be 1,018 vaccination centers and they will be able to vaccinate 2,117,440 monthly citizens, with the following hierarchy: health will be vaccinated first, then vulnerable groups and finally the general population.
