The application of BOOSTer COVID vaccines for educational personnel is postponed until further notice, because the shipment of Morena doses will arrive late in Mexico, the Ministry of Health reported.
Through a statement, Health detailed that the shipment of Moderna was delayed due to the effects of a meteorological phenomenon that affects the United States, so they will not start with the vaccination of teachers on January 8, as had been announced.
The application of booster doses for teachers and educational personnel was announced on December 28 during the president’s morning conference, by Undersecretary Hugo López-Gatell.
