That it is not necessarily. It must be a public health team. One part may be a team of other agencies joining the work or a volunteer.

The second group will be a group of people with a number of medical conditions, such as diabetes, heart pressure, emphysema, which are already available and the third group is the elderly, but with the limitations of the early vaccine, Sinovac, which Research is used for injection in the age group 18 to 59 years, so the Astra Seneca. It will come and fill this gap in risk groups, admitting that hundreds of thousands of doses that have been purchased are not enough, but I want to make sure that everyone will get the vaccine, of course, but they must first be distributed to the groups that need it with urgency.
