Cancun, Q. R. — More than 1.4 million doses of vaccines have been administered across the state of Quintana Roo reports Health Secretary Alejandra Aguirre Crespo.
Since the vaccine can prevent people from becoming seriously ill in the event of a covid-19 infection, health authorities continue to urge people to get vaccinated noting that “the vaccine against this disease does not replace prevention actions.”
“The vaccine prevents you from getting seriously ill in case of contagion, so in order not to take risks, it is necessary to continue with preventive habits,” she said.
