All Galapagos adults will be vaccinated until the end of May

Posted On 20 Apr 2021

The Galapagos archipelago will be the first in Latin America to achieve collective immunity to covid-19, as reported by the National Government on Friday, April 16, 2021. Until the end of May, the entire population will have received the two doses of the vaccine.

The announcement was made by Vice President María Alejandra Muñoz

Vice President María Alejandra Muñoz announced that the inhabitants of the islands, who are over 18 years old, will be inoculated in the coming weeks. This thanks to an agreement that the Government signed with the Pfizer laboratory.

The pharmaceutical company will send an advance of 40,000 doses, scheduled to arrive in Ecuador in the last week of April. Then they will be transferred from the mainland to the island region. The idea is that no adult remains unvaccinated.

Pfizer acordó el envío en una reunión con el ministro de Salud, Camilo Salinas, y el presidente del Gobierno de Galápagos, Norman Wray. El laboratorio aceptó adelantar las remesas, planificadas dentro del cronograma de envíos, para promover programas de investigación científica.

Para ello, la Universidad San Francisco de Quito implementará una investigación que acompañe todo el proceso de inmunización a los colonos del archipiélago.

El Ecuador inició la vacunación masiva a su población a través del Plan Vacunarse, dirigido y liderado por el Ministerio de Salud. Hasta el 14 de abril se han suministrado las dos dosis a 142.782 personas. (I)
