The Community of Madrid will start sending more than 330,000 SMS messages from this Thursday to promote the administration of the third dose versus COVID-19 in the population group aged 60 to 69 years and patients with risk factors, who have not yet received the additional serum.
Until yesterday, Wednesday, 2,186,153 people had this booster dose in the region of Madrid, according to the latest epidemiological report of the Ministry of Health.
In particular, the General Directorate of Public Health will send over 110,000 people in the 60-69 age group an SMS message offering them the possibility of immunizing for the third time at a vaccination point near their home.
In this case, this is a population that has not yet been quoted to receive the additional dose after completing its schedule more than five months ago, which is the minimum period to be expected to do so.
SMS will also be sent to more than 220,000 Madrileans with risk factors between 18 and 59 years of age, such as chronic lung, heart, kidney, liver and neurological diseases, morbid obesity and cognitive alterations, to remind them of the benefit of the booster dose in order to avoid possible serious complications in the event of COVID-19 infection.
