On Wednesday, both decrees were published in the official government newspaper, La Gaceta, allowing its content open to the public.

In the first decree, No. 43543-S, about the obligation for public employees to be vaccinated against covid-19, the only change was a request to "public institutions of the State and the private sector not to apply dismissal sanctions in the cases of employees do not have the complete vaccination scheme against covid-19."

The mandatory vaccination for public employees, issued by the previous government of Carlos Alvarado, continues. According to Social Security, over 4.1 million people are fully vaccinated against covid-19.  

In the case of employees of private companies, it is up to the owner of the company to decide whether or not to order their employees to complete the vaccination schedule against covid-19.

The decree also asks the National Vaccination Commission for updated technical and statistical studies and recommends which employees may be affected by dismissal sanctions for failure to be vaccinated.

In addition, the decree asks the commission for technical studies that demonstrate the effect of mandatory vaccination, including an analysis of international evidence on the vaccination.
