The vaccination campaign is moving forward in the province of Holguin with the goal of protecting the population from the aggressive Covid-19, as so has seen Radio Angulo web site in the vaccinatory located at "Roger Leyva" elementary school, in Libertad neighborhood in the Cuban City of the Parks.
Dr. Minerva Lizbeth Vázquez, deputy director of medical assistance at the Máximo Gómez polyclinic, informed that Abdala has already benefited 92 percent of the people foreseen in the area covered by that medical institution.
In the same way, it is now proceeding with the people who have not yet been vaccinated or are missing some doses, at the time the application of Soberana-02 started in children from two to 10 years old, and from 11 to 18 years old.
"For this we have nine vaccination sites, where doctors, nurses and medical students are working in an organized manner and complying with the established prevention measures. The campaign is going well because the population contributes with their presence and discipline. I can say that the response is positive and our entire population will be immunized on schedule".
Together with this medical and public response, there is the resolute support of the delegates of the People's Power, activists of the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR) and workers of the centers activated as vaccination centers. Such is the case of "Roger Leyva" school, where the director is professionally devoted to this vital task, together with other workers of the center, acknowledged the deputy director.
And as vaccination is a task of the people, it is also usual the performance of amateur artists in some of these places, as I appreciated at "Roger Leyva" schoo where Miguel Semanat Batallán deighted the audience with several songs.
He told me that they have performed at several vaccination sites, "as a way to liven up the wait and for people to relax a little before starting the process, and I want you to know that the children also applaud me enthusiastically, although the music I give them is from Spanish pop from the 60's and 70's as well as boleros by Cuban authors".
Semanat usually performs at the vaccinatoriums and other stages assigned by "Manuel Dositeo Aguilera" Culture House, accompanied by Alberto Matos, also an amateur performer.
What inspires them to support the vaccination campaign in that singular way, I asked him, and Semanat, adjusting his cap, stared at me, pointing to the people waiting for their turn to go in to register and be checked by the doctors, proceed to the vaccination, and then wait for an hour, in another classroom, to prevent any adverse reaction, which has not happened.
"Those people leave happy after receiving the corresponding vaccine dose, but when we dedicate some music to them beforehand, they enter the vaccination point more sedated, without fearing anything, and that is what the doctors and nurses have told me, with whom I always have a little dialogue", answered my interlocutor.
He told me that they make this modest contribution to the vaccination process, because "it is quite traumatic what we have gone through with Covid-19, the number of contagions, the people who have died, and naturally, that scares many people who, when they listen to our songs, delivered with so much love, change their tensions, as one can see in their faces. That's why we do it, and because we like the art of singing".
The fact is that the vaccination campaign against Covid-19 is advancing in this province of Holguin, in correspondence with its behavior in Cuba, where on Saturday 18 million 126 thousand 208 doses of Abdala, Soberana 02 and Soberana Plus were administered. In this way, the Marti's premise that "in foreseeing lies the art of saving" is honored.
