This, in order to avoid crowds and pusher as has been recorded the first day in some vaccination centers by circuit, "we understand that they are eager, but we have vaccines for everyone," said the doctor.

He indicated that "the vaccine is a human right and it is not denied. We will never do it, however, we advocate for citizen conscience, so that they attend the day and time that corresponds to them."
