COVID 19 vaccine doses by pharmaceutical laboratory administered in the territorial entities of Colombia

Dosis aplicadas contra COVID-19 por laboratorio en las entidades territoriales de Colombia

Introduction: mass vaccination campaigns to prevent coronavirus 19 disease (COVID 19) are being conducted in many countries; there is urgency of providing estimates on vaccine efficacy to support decision-making. Objective: to present the progression of completed vaccination schedules by type of vaccine in the different territorial entities in Colombia as of August 24 2021. Methodology: a cross-sectional study specifically designed to gather information on various pharmaceutical company vaccines administered in Colombia; data was obtained from the Ministry of Health and Social Protection webpage based on the COVID 19 national vaccination plan. Results: the territorial entities with the most completed schedules administered by type of vaccine were: Bogotá (4’259.615), Antioquia (2’864.061), Valle del Cauca (2’004.655), Santander (1’289.588) and Cundinamarca (840.967), and those with the least were: Vichada (12.784), Vaupes (13.754), Guainía (20.706), Guaviare (31.598) and Amazonas (54.385). Conclusion: the deployment of vaccines against COVID-19 in Colombia offers a solution to mitigate the effects of the pandemic, but also poses challenges.  Colombia is committed to guarantee that everyone in the country has fair and equitable access to COVID 19 vaccines.
