The Ministerio de Salud de Costa Rica published several updates on its official Twitter account in early September 2025, providing information on vaccination, suicide prevention, and regulatory support for businesses.

On September 8, 2025, the ministry encouraged citizens to stay informed about immunization schedules. It stated: “Acceda desde nuestra página web https://t.co/R2U3Sg4gAh a los esquemas de vacunación oficiales de Costa Rica. Esto es importante para que usted conozca, en detalle, sobre la importancia que las vacunas tienen para proteger la salud. Complete su esquema de vacunas https://t.co/xspMiyIW3b” The message highlighted the significance of completing vaccination schedules for health protection.

Later that day, the ministry announced an event related to mental health awareness: “Para conmemorar el Día Mundial de la Prevención del Suicidio 2025, la OPS organizará un seminario web para presentar su nueva Iniciativa Regional de Prevención del Suicidio. Ingrese al siguiente enlace de manera gratuita y regístrese https://t.co/GuPgzN4JQq” The announcement referred to a webinar by the Pan American Health Organization (OPS) as part of World Suicide Prevention Day.

On September 9, 2025, the ministry addressed local business owners and entrepreneurs in Tibás: “Comerciantes y emprendedores de Tibás: ¿Debe tramitar su permiso sanitario de funcionamiento o registrar un producto y no sabe cómo hacerlo? Aquí le ayudamos https://t.co/J1LKRqROXm” This tweet offered guidance for those seeking sanitary permits or product registration.

The Ministerio de Salud serves as Costa Rica’s principal authority on public health policy and regulation. Its social media communications frequently aim to inform citizens about preventive health measures and facilitate compliance with national regulations.
