Minister of Public Health Tours Vaccination Sites
Today, Saturday, the Minister of Public Health, Dr. Luis Medina Ruiz, embarked on a tour of various vaccination sites in the province, showing his support for the dedicated teams working tirelessly to immunize the community.
“Vaccination plays a crucial role in preventing diseases such as Covid, flu, or pneumonia. It is commendable to witness our healthcare professionals immunizing individuals at locations including 107, Autovac, Fanzolato, Alderetes, Yerba Buena, Tafí del Valle, among others,” stated Minister Medina Ruiz.
Furthermore, the minister urged the population to ensure they complete the full six-dose schedule if more than four months have passed since their last dose of the anticovid vaccine. “By doing so, individuals can safeguard themselves from potential complications in case of infection, with the next dose scheduled for next year. As we enter winter, it is of utmost importance to prevent diseases through vaccination, mask-wearing, and proper hand hygiene, as we consistently advocate,” he added.
It is worth mentioning that graduates Margarita Rosalez, Valeria Herrera, Malena Núñez, Liliana Juárez, Nuria Bustos, Roxana Sercan, and Dr. Claudia Lanús de Dulac were present at various vaccination sites, working alongside the healthcare teams.

During his visit to vaccination sites, Dr. Ruiz emphasized the following measures for preventing Covid and other diseases:
1. Getting vaccinated: Dr. Ruiz highlighted the importance of getting vaccinated against Covid-19 to reduce the risk of infection and severe illness. He encouraged people to take advantage of the available vaccines and follow the recommended vaccination schedule.
2. Wearing masks: Dr. Ruiz stressed the significance of wearing masks, especially in crowded and enclosed spaces, to prevent the spread of the virus. He emphasized the need for proper mask usage, including covering the nose and mouth completely.
3. Practicing good hand hygiene: Dr. Ruiz emphasized the importance of regular handwashing with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or using hand sanitizers containing at least 60% alcohol. This helps in reducing the transmission of viruses and other germs.
4. Maintaining physical distance: Dr. Ruiz encouraged people to maintain a safe distance of at least 6 feet from others, especially in public settings with a higher risk of transmission.
5. Avoiding large gatherings: Dr. Ruiz advised against participating in or organizing large gatherings, as they increase the risk of Covid-19 transmission. He recommended opting for virtual or smaller, outdoor gatherings instead.
6. Following respiratory etiquette: Dr. Ruiz reminded people to cover their mouth and nose with a tissue or their elbow when coughing or sneezing to prevent the spread of respiratory droplets containing the virus.
7. Staying home when sick: Dr. Ruiz emphasized the importance of staying at home and seeking medical advice when experiencing Covid-19 symptoms or feeling unwell. This helps in preventing the potential spread of the virus to others.
8. Keeping up with regular healthcare: Dr. Ruiz encouraged individuals to continue seeking regular healthcare services, including vaccinations for other preventable diseases, to maintain overall health and well-being.
These measures are crucial in protecting oneself and others from Covid-19 and other infectious diseases.
