After 15 days of negotiations, the Government of Mexico authorized the strategic vaccination approach of the Government of Jalisco.
After the meeting yesterday of the Governor of Jalisco, Enrique Alfaro Ramírez, with the President of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the federal government responded to one of the requests of the state president to strategically and geographically direct vaccines to specific regions such as Puerto Vallarta. Therefore, the vaccination of the entire population over 18 years of age in the tourist destination will begin next Friday.
“It is one of the points that we put on the table to adjust the vaccination plan. Yesterday in Mexico City he denounced that they had not given us an answer after 15 days of negotiations… finally at night they advised us that vaccines are authorized so that from Friday we can start the vaccination process, cover the entire population of this very important tourist destination in our state and the country, and thus be able to avoid as much as possible the risk and contagions increase,” the governor reported this morning in a video on their social networks.
Jalisco raised before the federal authorities, from the first meeting with the President of Mexico, the power to have a decisive opinion in the definition of the criteria for the application of vaccines, and to focus on the sectors and strategic places that allow to stop the infections, in order to give way to generate the conditions for the return to face-to-face classes, the state president specified.
He added that the Health Board will be in charge of informing about the details of the inoculation in the port and will be waiting for the proposals to be authorized.
“Yesterday, our precision, our demand, finally paid off. I celebrate it and I thank the Federal Government for responding to our request, I regret that they have taken so long. I hope they will not take too long… to make the decision of the other proposals that already we put formally on the table,” he added.
