Colombia public health vaccination campaigns

Overview

Public health authorities in Colombia have implemented localized and national vaccination campaigns across several regions to increase immunization coverage.

In mid October, efforts were focused in Montería and Cúcuta. In Montería, the ‘Protegemos el presente, cuidamos el futuro: ¡Vacunatón escolar!’ initiative targeted children aged 0 to 5, children under 9 for dengue, and pregnant women for influenza. In Cúcuta, over 40 vaccination points were established to provide vaccines including BCG, hepatitis B, polio, and HPV to newborns, children, adolescents, and the elderly.

By early November, campaigns expanded to Manizales and Yopal. In Manizales, authorities scheduled night and national vaccination days targeting children, adolescents, and pregnant women. In Yopal, the seventh National Vaccination Day included school visits and door-to-door outreach to provide vaccines for dengue, HPV, yellow fever, tetanus, measles, and rubella.
