Vaccination and Medical Fairs

Gaudium et Spes sponsors free vaccination drives and medical fairs across Puerto Rico throughout the year. Thanks to the volunteer work of doctors and medical practitioners, these fairs provide much needed medical access to the less privileged and in the most distant communities of the Island. One particular area of focus is the free vaccination of children, providing mothers with the vaccine “green leaf” required of their children to enter school, at no cost. A significant saving in these distressed communities.
