Vaccination Day: A Cheeky Look at a Serious Business!
During today’s day, the vaccination nodes of the Emergency Department 107, the Hospital del Este, Concepción and Aguilares were enabled, and, surprise surprise, there was a large turnout!
Following the *not-so-surprising* guidelines from the Minister of Health, Dr. Luis Medina Ruiz, and under the watchful eye of accountant Osvaldo Jaldo, the great vaccination extravaganza was set in motion! This Saturday, the province’s Immunization Directorate played hero by opening different nodes for those brave souls who can’t find time during the week. Because let’s be honest, we all have that one friend who is perpetually busy, right?
Coordinator of vaccination node 107 and nursing graduate Sergio González Urbano expressed: “As a policy of the Ministry of Health, we’ve decided to open these centers on Saturdays. It’s like the Friday night out for vaccines!” Now that’s something to celebrate! And just so you know, Node 107 is on duty from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. with a weekly rotation. It’s almost like those fancy restaurant pop-ups, but with less avocado toast and more needles.
Now, here comes the *juicy* part: they’re inoculating with the Qdenga vaccine aimed at priority groups like Health, Safety, and Teaching, along with our youth aged 15 to 34. So, if you’re in your mid-twenties and your biggest crisis is where to grab brunch, it’s time to switch gears and think about that vaccine instead!
In line with this, González noted that attendance among adolescents is through the roof – presumably because they want to catch the post-pandemic wave of “Who wants to be in quarantine again?”
Maria Valeria Rodriguez, a nurse from Eva Perón Hospital, got straight to the point: “We are carrying out spontaneous vaccinations against dengue for those aged 15 to 34. It’s not just about staying in, it’s about thriving!” Now that’s the kind of spontaneous we can actually get behind. This isn’t just about wellness; it’s about making sure the dengue mosquito has as much chance of partying as a bouncer at an exclusive New Year’s Eve bash.
Nurse Marisa Pacheco then decided to channel her inner motivational speaker, inviting the young and the rest of us weary adults to come on down and get poked! “Everyone should join the fight,” she urged. Look out, *Dengue Warriors*—the modern-day superheroes! Spandex suits and all, right?
Finally, let’s hear from locals. Guadalupe, from the Salí River Band, chimed in on her dengue horror story: “Getting the disease was like going to an awful theme park where all the rides are pain and no fun.” Well, if that doesn’t sell you on getting vaccinated, I don’t know what will! She praised the free vaccine as a ticket to protection. Free stuff always sounds good unless it’s a friend’s homemade kombucha. Let’s not go there.
Milton Gabriel Barrera, another brave soul from the Banda del Río Salí, really hit the nail on the head when he said that free access to the vaccine is an important step by the Ministry of Health. “I just can’t stress this enough—come get vaccinated! Rally your friends, lose that fear, and step away from Netflix for a hot minute.”
In conclusion:
This initiative is commendable! It’s about time we reviewed our sleep-in-on-Saturdays strategy in favor of preserving our health. So, folks, grab your mates, roll up your sleeves, and let the world know that your weekend plans include tackling dengue head-on!
