22,000 unvaccinated civil servants

Some 22,000 civil servants have not yet received the Covid-19 vaccine the presidential adviser Rafael Mesquita confirmed on Tuesday, August 17.

Mosque said that he had access to statistics that show that 210,000 officials have at least one dose against the virus and that 145,000 already have two doses.

“There are a total of 232,000 civil servants, and 10 percent have received no vaccination.

The issue of vaccinating officials has generated various reactions after President of Cortizo, said that he was analyzing sending officials who have not been vaccinated on leave without pay.

“They have no right not to be vaccinated or to infect other people,” argued Cortizo last Friday during a tour of the province of Herrera.

“The way to interpret it is an advance call of attention to those 20,000 officials who so far do not have any vaccine,” said Mesquita.
