Of 500 inhabitants of the congregations of Omiquila and Tzoncolco in the municipality of Rafael Delgado, only two people responded to the vaccination campaigns. And one of them is a councilor who promotes the "puncture". It was revealed by Jorge Hernández Hernández, head of the Municipal Health Directorate.

There is frustration among the cattle ranchers who set up their stalls in the congregations of Omiquila and Tzoncolco, municipality of Rafael Delgado. Only two people responded to the vaccination days, out of the 500 inhabitants of the town. It was reported by Jorge Hernández Hernández, head of the Municipal Health Directorate.

On the last day that arrived in the municipality, three points of vaccination, but the settlers did not arrive. They expected to serve between 200 and 300 people, but no one attended to get vaccinated. Only two people arrived, and one of them was the councilor who promoted the injections.

When questioned about why people refuse to inject themselves, the interviewee considered that they do not get vaccinated out of fear. "The mayor, worried, made an open invitation to the municipal agents, he told the community to come get vaccinated, that he was going to set an example, that it was something healthy and a good initiative, but he had no response," he said. .

The municipal health director pointed out that they will seek an approach with all the people that are necessary to motivate the population to get vaccinated. “We are open to dialogue and if there is a greater possibility of working, the better, but Tzoncolco and Omiquila is a community that understands each other with its municipal agent; it's a little harder to work them,” he said.

He stressed that they will promote through health promoters so that the population goes to get vaccinated, since neither older adults nor young people did. "Perhaps because of their uses and customs," he concluded.
