The Ministry of Health (MPPS) completed the Bolivarian Immunization Celebration 2025, a day that took place from April 12 to May 4 and managed to administer 271,582 doses of vaccines, benefiting 191,299 people throughout the country.

More than 5,000 vaccination points strategically located in emblematic schools in the country were activated for this initiative, which was aimed at immunizing the most vulnerable groups qualified in children from 2 months to 6 years old, schoolchildren, pregnant women and the indigenous population.

According to a press release from the Health portfolio, the conference took place within the Comprehensive Health Vaccination Intensification Plan, which involved the participation of more than 10,000 vaccinators and 5,400 vaccination posts nationwide. Through the Expanded Immunization Program (PAI), essential vaccines such as Pentavalent, Oral Polio, Inactive Polio, Anti-Amaryllic (Yellow Fever), Toxoid and SRP (Measles, Rubella and Mumps) were offered.

The five states with the highest number of doses applied were Carabobo 35,978, Miranda 24,385, Táchira 20,270, Zulia 18,350 and Bolívar 15,522, demonstrating the program's reach in the most vulnerable regions.

It should be noted that the Expanded Immunization Program “Health Goes to School”, facilitated access to the prioritized population and contributed to the maintenance of achievements in the area of vaccination. This program complemented the recruitment of children in Early Childhood Education Centers (CEI), establishing a vaccination post in each center, which required detailed planning in all Comprehensive Community Health Areas (ASIC).

In addition, vaccination points were set up in public squares, educational institutions, Comprehensive Diagnostic Centers (CDI), outpatient clinics and popular clinics, guaranteeing wide coverage and easy access for the entire population.
