childhood vaccinations
In these health centres, children aged 2 to 11 months will be vaccinated with the pentavalent polio vaccine (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B, pneumococcus).
Children aged 12 months will be vaccinated against measles, rubella, mumps and hepatitis A.
Hondurans who were vaccinated
About 2.2 million doses of the vaccine have yet to be administered to the Honduran population, according to SESAL. In addition, they stated that provisions have been put in place to guarantee the required vaccines, based on existing gaps in the different target groups.
Starting in September, 1.2 million doses of the bivalent vaccine and more than 270,000 doses of the monovalent vaccine will be received. These will meet expected demand for the remainder of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024.
