The Ministry of Health (SESA) said the shortage of four vaccines in the state for the next three weeks is pentavalent rotavirus, BCG and DPT.

Gregorio Hern?ndez P?rez, technical liaison to general medical care of first level of the SESA, reported that federal authorities reported that in the coming days we will have a shortage of these vaccines, because they are in the process of quality certification processes.

The state official noted that ongoing vaccination could be a limiting factor, but in two or three weeks again SESA will be supplied from the biological to not be a problem with vaccination coverage.

Without specifying the number of vaccines that fail to receive the SESA in the state, Hern?ndez P?rez said that throughout the year apply 83 000 255, of which only 34 thousand 690 are applied in May, so it the proportion of at least June.

But ruled that the second National Health Week has the risk of not having to apply to vaccines for the population official said that this remedy has already been covered.

Rule out the possible lack of biological could be some health problems and said they have vaccines available until the contingency happens.
