This is a public service post for those wishing to be vaccinated. Please start another topic if you want to share your personal opinions about vaccination in general and Covid-19 vaccinations in particular. Thanks.
Panama continues to vaccinate those eligible in Phase 2A and B using the Pfizer/BioNTech product. Eligible persons are adults over 60, front-line workers, teachers, school administrators, and pregnant women. You must register online or call 177 to be vaccinated. To date over 560,000 doses have been given. Panama metro will be completed this week, and Panama Oeste begins next week for the first inoculations. Thereafter roll-out will take place across the country for eligible groups.
Panama expects to receive 450,000 doses of the Pfizer product in the second trimester, and has approved purchase of additional doses.
Speaking personally, the vaccination process was smooth and efficient.
In a parallel development, Panama received 36,000 doses of the Astra/Zeneca vaccine under the COVAX program, and will vaccinate with Astra/Zeneca using a different approach. First, men over age 30 and women over age 50 are eligible. Second, vaccines will be given at drive-in centres, such as stadiums, across the country. Third, registration has a different online platform. You can register at www.panamasolidario.gob.pa/pag/vacunas, then enter the submenu Autoexpress.
Please be aware that the first doses of Astra/Zeneca were snapped up in 2 days, but more are on the way, so keep trying for an appointment if you’re interested in this vaccine.
Finally, the government has approved purchase of vaccines by private companies to administer to their employees, thereby getting the economy open quicker.
Panama is having an orderly, efficient vaccination roll-out.
