vaccines arrived at a storage warehouse
with a total area of 2,084 square meters in
the Free Trade Zone of Bogotá.

• The country has 37 warehouses for the

storage of vaccines. For the distribution of
the Pfizer vaccine, or those that require

with deep freezing: national central
warehouse in Bogotá (Zona Franca),
Bogotá Health Secretariat, Medellín, Cali,
Barranquilla, Bucaramanga, Cartagena and
Pereira.
