A total of 473 sites were opened this weekend (196 in Boyeros, 189 in Arroyo Naranjo and 88 in Cotorro), according to the information published by the island’s official media.

Dr. Rolando Montero Díaz, head of the center for the organization of this procedure in the capital, affirmed in statements to the press that this process corresponds to the second part of the vaccination plan in Havana.

The health intervention in outpatient and psychiatric centers has also been carried out since this Saturday in the territory.
