The municipality's target population was initially set at 49,000 residents (70% of 70,000), but was later increased to 56,000 (80% of the population) due to high demand.
As of August 10, 51,732 individuals have received their first dose, representing 92.38% of the adjusted target.
Regarding the second dose, 30,846 individuals are fully vaccinated, which is 63% of the original target and 55% of the new target population.
