From everyone in our team in Venezuela, we hope that each one of you and your loved ones are staying safe amid these challenging circumstances we are living worldwide.
Until the first half of March, we were succesfully organizing vaccination campaigns against rabbies in Maracaibo, an area of our country where this is an endemic disease and therefore the need is even greater than in the rest of the country. For the last 4 editions, we were able to organize them on a weekly basis which was great, with greater receptivity from the public.
Unfortunately, then COVID-19 happen and we were forced to stop with our activities. Just last week a broader scheme to reopen activities is being tested in our country and we are now exploring ways in which we can continue with this important work while complying with local regulations and making sure to follow the highest sanitary standards.
This too shall pass... and we will be able again to vaccinate. When we do so, the need will be even greater than it was before, so we need to be prepared. We are doing everything we can to make sure we are ready to go as soon as we can.
We have prepared a short video for you to take a look at one of this vaccination sessions pre-pandemic.
Thank you and stay safe,
