In Valladolid, the specific points are the Valladolid General Hospital, the Urban Health Center, and the IMSS and Issste Family Medical Units. In Conkal, the vaccination point is located at the IMSS Family Medical Unit.

The vaccination campaigns for seniors will continue this week, so the state agency reminds that in order to avoid crowds that could put seniors at risk, it is important not to go directly to these centers without an appointment, but to wait for a call from representatives of the federal government.

It is important to remember that the vaccines will be applied to the population that has been previously registered and selected through the Federal Government’s platforms, so the Federation is in charge of the planning and protocols of this vaccination and the State Government will only be supporting with these tasks.
