Prepare ahead for next round of Covid-19 booster shots

While scores of Lakeside area senior citizens took advantage of the December 9 through 16 Covid-19 vaccination campaign in Jocotepec to get their AstraZeneca booster shots, many others missed out on the opportunity.

pg1bThose still seeking refuerzos (boosters) are advised to pre-register and keep their vaccination records up to date.

Vax application programs in Jalisco have been suspended through the Christmas holiday season, but new jornada de vacunación dates will be scheduled as soon as the first full week of  January 2022. Exact dates for the municipality of Chapala remain unknown, and based on past experience it’s safe to assume they won’t be announced more than a day or two ahead of time. It’s best to stay closely tuned to social media networks to pick up last minute notices for first, second or booster inoculations.

Reliable sources include the Facebook sites of the Secretaría de Salud Jalisco, Gobierno de Chapala, the Lake Chapala COVID-19 Group, Chapala Health Talk, and Gringos Ajijic & Lakeside. Individuals adverse to Facebook may find timely information posted on the Chapala.com and Inside Lakeside web boards, as well as the coronavirus.jalisco.gob.mx/ruta-de-la-vacunacion website.
