Abstract

Introduction: one of the main difficulties in the early development of vaccines against SARS coronavirus has been finding an unexpected eosinophil-associated immunopotentiation or increased infectivity, that occurs following provocation infections and immunization with whole virus vaccines or full-length spike protein vaccines. Objective: to describe the progress of COVID-19 vaccination coverage by vaccination regime in the territorial entities of Colombia from February 17 to August 2021. Methodology: an analytical cross-sectional study designed to gather information on administered vaccines in Colombia by vaccination regime. Data was obtained from the Ministry of Health and Social Protection webpage based on the national vaccination plan. Results: as of August 26, 2021 the territorial entities with the most vaccination coverage by vaccination regime were: San Andres and Providencia, Amazonas, Quindío, Boyacá and Tolima and those with the lowest coverage by vaccination regime were: Vichada, Choco, Guajira, Putumayo and Cundinamarca. Conclusion ensuring national safety through coronavirus vaccine promotion and storage, establishing financial support mechanisms at the international level to endorse vaccine development, manufacturing and storage, is imperative.
