Only people who reside in these municipalities and who are 60 years of age or older will receive the AstraZeneca vaccine, which consists of two doses.

What will the process be like?

Older adults whose first letter of the paternal surname begins from A to G will be able to present themselves to the vaccination units on February 15. People whose first letter of the paternal surname begins with the letters H to P, will attend the vaccination center that corresponds to them on February 16, and from Q to Z, in addition to people who do not have a paternal surname, may be vaccinated on the February 17th.

Lagging or missing older adults will be able to attend to take the vaccine on February 18 and 19.

For older adults who have mobility disabilities and cannot attend the vaccination units and who have already been contacted by the Mexican government, they will be contacted by phone to inform them about the mobile brigade that will vaccinate them at home.
