Former president Sebastián Piñera published yesterday on his Instagram account that he had went to get vaccinated again against Covid-19 and called on those who make up risk groups to imitate him.
«I got my sixth Covid vaccine and I’m here to show you. And you? Yapué!«wrote the former president, along with the photo showing the card given by the Ministry of Health to those who are inoculated.
The new vaccination campaign targets those who have already completed more than a year since the last time they received the last vaccine and belong to risk groups. As immunocompromised patients, people with chronic diseases and over 60 years old like Piñera, who is days away from turning 74 on December 1.
A few days ago, the Undersecretary of Public Health, Andrea Albagliexplained in Cooperativa that it is important to know that at this stage in which the pandemic has already been overcome, Covid is an endemic disease but «It’s not that the cases are milder; They are milder for those who were vaccinated. «It does not mean that the virus changed and is now less serious, it is that we now have a tool that we did not have before, given that the consequences of contagion are less, but it is thanks to the vaccine.»
He also assured that it is «the most updated vaccine worldwide, which protects against the most predominant strain in community circulation todaywhich is a sublineage of (the variant) Ómicron, which is the XBB 1.5″.
