The senator elected by the Mayagüez-Aguadilla district, Ada García Montes, asked General José Reyes, special assistant to the National Guard (GN), the reasons why a vaccination center for health workers who live and work in the western part of Puerto Rico .
“I understand there is a reasonable preparation and logistical process, which is why I have been waiting all week before making my statements, but given that the opening of a vaccination center was announced yesterday this Wednesday December 31 in Caguas and another in Arecibo, the obvious question is: when are they planning to open a center in the western zone, ”explained the educator, who was also an educator.

García Montes also said General Reyes told a press release yesterday (Cybernews Media) that he is concerned that health workers from Ponce and Mayagüez are arriving at the vaccination center at the Pedrín Zorrilla Stadium in San Juan. “This center is for the metropolitan area,” said Reyes. In addition, the GNPR leader was questioned by the media about the possibility of establishing various methods of handling a call bank or appointment system, but these were discarded by the military.
With her claim today, the senator joins the statements of elected lawmakers Jessie Cortés Ramos, Eladio Cardona and Migdalia González, who have filed a claim in defense of the population of the Western Zone. “There is a reality that the residents of our cities are aware of and that is that state agencies are not serving the west as quickly as the rest of the country. I will give as an example the recent case of the Ministry of Labor (DT) and the process of handling unemployment cases as a result of the pandemic. In May I publicly demanded that the same servicarro system be set up that the DT had organized for San Juan and Ponce and it took a month for the system to be finally set up at the Isidoro García stadium in Mayagüez ”. The Mayagüez-Aguadilla district also consists of Aguada, Añasco, Cabo Rojo, Hormigueros, Isabela, Las Marías, Moca, Rincón, San Germán and San Sebastián.
Regarding public complaints about people outside of the health worker stage vaccinated for having contacts or the so-called ‘kicking’, the senator was unwilling to speculate. The Department of Health (DS) reported yesterday that they are investigating several allegations of people receiving a vaccination against Covid-19, despite not being part of the phase that corresponds to them. As elected legislator for the West. it is my duty to seek first-class services. Although I have not sworn, I am already in those positions. It is my duty and calling, “concluded García Montes.
