Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: since the first cases of coronavirus 2019 disease (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2), were identified on December 2019, the resulting pandemic has led to 210 million confirmed cases and more than 4.4 million deaths around the globe as of April 6 2021. Objective: to measure the SARS-COV-2 vaccination plan performance in the period from February 17 to August 17 2021. Methodology: a cross-sectional study using the information released in the Ministry of Health and Social Protection webpage based on the national vaccination plan. Results: the highest number of doses (594.993 doses), was administered on August 6, the highest number of second doses was administered on June 29 (235.048), the highest number (165.266) of single dose regimens was administered on July 15 and the most completed vaccination schedules (337.354) were achieved on July 9. Conclusion: monitoring the vaccination process is essential to gain understanding on the effectiveness, a possible drop of immune response over time, and the future effects of these vaccines.
