The Ministry of Health reminds the importance of attending your appointment to receive vaccination, since the schedules are organized according to the available vaccines and the target population to be vaccinated at all times, so any cancellations or no-shows can lead to a mismatch in plans. The appointment is made by SMS or by phone call.
