This Good Friday, the vaccination process began in the last two remaining boroughs of Mexico City, with the aim of protecting the population from the coronavirus, a disease that has affected more than two million people in the country.
Given this, older adults living in the municipalities of Iztapalapa and Gustavo A. Madero will have to go for the first dose at their assigned vaccination centers and on the suggested day, according to the first letter of their last name. The second dose will be administered 15 days after the first.
To locate their assigned vaccination unit, older adults can visit the following website: Here.
Once there, they must enter their Unique Population Registry Code (CURP) and click on "locate unit." In the case of older adults who registered previously through mivacuna.salud.gob.mx, they will receive a series of text messages with the date, day, and time they should present themselves.

What should older adults bring?

Additionally, it is recommended to attend the designated site well-hydrated, with mandatory use of face masks, comfortable clothing, and to be prepared for any weather eventualities, as waiting areas will be located outdoors, since scientific studies suggest a lower probability of contagion in open areas.
