150 thousand children under 18 years of age signed up on the first day to receive the vaccine – Télam

The province of Buenos Aires enabled registration for people between the ages of 13 and 17.


The head of advisers of the Buenos Aires Ministry of Health, Enio Garca, affirmed that there is a “good panorama” regarding vaccination of minors under 18 years of age, which was reflected in that On the first day of registration, around 150 thousand interested parties were registered in the province, and rescued the nine weeks of low in the number of cases by coronavirus.

There is a very good outlook, the first day of registration: we already had 150,000 minors between the ages of 13 and 18 signed up, “the Buenos Aires government advisor told El Uncover Radio on Friday.

Garcia analyzed that it is “a population that tends to adhere” since “there is the presence of the families who take care of them”, and marked a counterpoint with respect to what happens with the population of young adults, -from 18 to 30 -, which is “more difficult for enrollment”.

“There is a little less adherence in that band,” said Garca regarding young adults, but clarified that “they are also signing up.”

“We are getting closer to free vaccination for everyone”, completely.

Garca explained that in the province, “60% of the target population was vaccinated with at least one dose” and said that this level is “within expectations.”

Regarding the campaign carried out to acquire vaccines and to inoculate, he assumed that “the only variant that was complex was the amount of vaccines that were arriving, but little by little the press operations that wanted to install that they worked poorly with vaccines “and said that” there are many countries that were in the same situation as us. “

In relation to the epidemiological situation, I celebrate that “for the first time in the pandemic” it is possible to say that “the numbers are good”, with respect to the cases, which have been falling.

We have been out for nine consecutive weeks, we monitor day by day, mainly in the suburbs and we see that in terms of occupancy due to Covid-19 it has been falling one point per day, “he added.

He pointed out that this Thursday 38% of the suburban beds occupied with Covid-19 were registered and said that “not even in the summer did we have such good numbers.”

“These numbers are thanks to the care measures but also thanks to the vaccination campaign and the quality of the vaccines that we have that were so discussed,” he commented.

Garcia:

Garca: “Vaccination lowers infections and a lot the internees and lethality, they are very positive numbers”

He reported that most of the suburban municipalities went to phase 4 “which is a phase with almost no type of restriction” and added that, this week, according to the data, it will be “below 3,000 cases per day” which, he said, “is quite a lot, but less than the 12,000 we had on average a couple of months ago.”

“The vaccination lowers the contagions and much the internees and the lethality, they are very positive numbers”

Likewise, Garca said: “With the Covid-19 vaccine, it impresses in a positive way how the cases decrease. The lethality has dropped a lot, the vaccination lowers the infections and a lot the internees and the lethality, they are very positive numbers.”

Register

For its part, the Undersecretary of Information Management of the Ministry of Health from the province of Buenos Aires, Leticia Ceriani, highlighted this Friday that “The number of young people from Buenos Aires between 13 and 17 years old is very high” who register to receive the coronavirus vaccine, when it is authorized for that age group.

“We open in the province the registry https://vacunatepba.gba.gob.ar/ and in the app so that people between the ages of 13 and 17 can start to register, “the official told C5N and stated that the idea is “that the moment the vaccine is authorized, we can start assigning shifts”.

He argued that although some people believed that the youngest were more resistant to being vaccinated, this shows “that it is not so” and added: “Fortunately, everyone wants to put their shoulders to receive the vaccine.”

“In our country there is a very strong vaccination culture, we have a calendar incorporated into people’s lives,” he pointed out and indicated that “people are registering as they see it as something closer.”

“Young people might think they were going to get vaccinated next year, but the campaign moved on very fast.”

“The young people may think they were going to get vaccinated next year, but the campaign progressed very quickly and today they are getting vaccinated,” said Ceriani and added: “Most of Buenos Aires want to be vaccinated.”

In that sense, I reiterate that in Buenos Aires there is “90% coverage” since “of the 12 million people over 18 years of age that we have to vaccinate, 10,800,000 have already registered.”

Finally I remembered that “Everyone over 30 years of age has been vaccinated, so they can go to any post to be vaccinated without a shift”.
