Through Mi Vacuna web platform, the Secretary of Health and the Government of Mexico have launched the national registration for people over 60 years old for the application of the COVID-19 vaccine .
For the second stage of the National Vaccination Policy against the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the Government of Mexico announced on February 2 the beginning of the national registration of adults over 60 years of old. The website mivacuna.salud.gob.mx
To register, it is only necessary to have internet access on a cell phone or computer and once on the platform, it is necessary to enter the CURP (Unique Population Registry Code) of the person over 60 years of age and confirm. In case of not knowing the CURP, it is possible to consult it through the following link: https://www.gob.mx/curp/.
After verifying that the information is correct, the user must select the option "Yes, I want to be vaccinated" and then select the state and municipality where he/she lives. As for the address, it is not necessary that it coincides with the one that appears in the official identification. It must be the current address, so that the person can be assigned to the nearest vaccination center.
In addition, the user must provide a telephone number (it can be personal or of a family member), so they can be contacted by an official of the nation, who, through a phone call, will provide the date and place of vaccination. On the day of the appointment, it is necessary that the person arrives at the vaccination center 15 minutes before and only with their official identification. The administrative staff will register the attendance and the health personnel will administer the vaccine.
After the immunization, the vaccinated person will go to the observation area for 30 minutes. In the case of vaccines that require a second dose, the nation's servers will contact the people who need it to indicate again the date and place.
On the other hand, Emiliano Calderón Mercado, coordinator of National Digital Strategy of the Presidency of the Republic, explained that the vaccination day has required a directory of the senior citizens who will receive the immunization. Two types of strategies will be implemented, one for rural or remote areas where there is no internet connection, by means of a registration through the Integral Development Centers and the sending of brigades to carry out the registration. The second strategy for urban and semi-urban areas contemplates the use of the Mi Vacuna platform. In addition, he explained that they also considered the differences between vaccines, since each one will have different delivery times.
