Less than a month after the start of the 2026 Winter Vaccination Campaign, the Secretary of Health of Guanajuato reports more than 270,000 doses of vaccines administered against influenza and Covid 19.
Of this progress, more than 200,000 correspond to influenza vaccines and more than 70,000 to Covid 19, as part of the actions to strengthen the protection of Guanajuatense families during the cold season.
The immunization campaign began on October 12 and will continue until April 2, 2027, with the purpose of preventing respiratory illnesses, avoiding complications, and reducing the risk of hospitalizations.
The Secretary of Health of Guanajuato, Gabriel Cortes Alcala, called on the population, especially those belonging to vulnerable groups, to get their vaccines promptly and maintain their protection during the months of highest viral circulation.
“We invite families to visit their nearest Community Health Centers and Community Hospitals, where they can receive these vaccines free of charge. It is essential to protect pregnant women, people over 60, children from six months to five years old, as well as healthcare workers,” said the Secretary.
Cortes also urged those living with chronic illnesses, such as diabetes and hypertension, as well as people with conditions that weaken the immune system, including cancer, to get vaccinated.
For this winter season, Guanajuato has one million doses against influenza and 700,000 against Covid 19, mainly intended to guarantee the protection of priority sectors of the population.
Cortes Alcala pointed out that the results of the previous campaign reflect the importance of maintaining vaccination as a preventive measure, as it contributed to reduce Covid 19 cases by almost 50 percent.
Besides, during the same period there was an approximate 10 percent reduction in influenza cases, which confirms the importance of completing vaccination schedules.
