The goal is to vaccinate 70% of the priority groups by December, and for 100% of the population to be inoculated by March 31, the date on which the campaign ends.

In the case of SARS-CoV-2, in a first stage – from yesterday until November – the Cuban biological Adbalá will be used. And then, the Russian Sputnik vaccine.
