This is the schedule Paraguay reports to WHO, published as data under WHO's open licence — not a copy of the ministry's own page. The ministry can change a date without WHO's file changing the same week, so if your health centre says something different, your health centre is right. Two products on one line are alternatives for a single injection, not two. One of these vaccines is not given everywhere in the country, only in some regions; the line says so. What the source records about it: «Dengue — Población con edad comprendida entre 6 a 8 años, 11 meses y 29 días, con antecedente de dengue o no, en los diskitos con mayor circulación del virus de dengue, los cuales serán considerados distritos priorizados, aquellos distritos priorizados corresponden a las siguientes regiones: Itapúa (Encarnación y Hohenau); Paraguari (Paraguarí, Carapeguá y Yaguarón); Central ( Capiatá, Fernando de la Mira, Itá, Lambaré, Luque, Mariano Roque Alonso, Villa Elisa, Villeta y San Lorenzo); Capital (Asunción todos los barrios))».
