Workers in Community Health (Trabajadores Comunitarios de Salud en Terreno, TCST) will carry out a Vaccination Campaign on December 20 at the CAPS (Center for Primary Care) in Ceferino Neighborhood, due to a low vaccination index among children. TCSTs invite parents to bring their children to complete the vaccination schedule, with this campaign focusing on 5-year-old children entering primary school and the HPV vaccine for 11-year-olds. Lucrecia Silva, a TCST, detailed the campaign’s goals to FM DEL LAGO, stating that Santa Claus will be present from 4 PM to 7 PM, engaging children with games and small gifts for those who get vaccinated. The campaign’s target area is Ceferino, Matadero, and John Kennedy neighborhoods, but children from other areas are also welcome. The highlight of the event is the Christmas box giveaway, aiming to create a fun atmosphere.
