Anti covid vaccination: those over 40, with chances before …

The Province of Buenos Aires and the City of Buenos Aires could open the vaccination of people under 50 of the general population, that is, without previous illnesses, before the end of the month. The rhythm of the arrival of vaccines, and also of vaccination, has been accelerating, so that the range from 50 to 59 will be cited from this Monday and, if everything goes as in the last ten days, the call for minors will begin 50 in the week that starts on Monday, June 21 or, at the latest, on June 28. In parallel, 400,000 doses 2 of the Sputnik vaccine will be applied starting next Wednesday. The Buenos Aires district also called for those over 70 who want to be vaccinated, without a shift. It is one of the objectives: to start search to those who did not sign up. On the horizon there is also the idea of ​​nurses going out neighborhood by neighborhood to vaccinate people who have not yet done so.

Vaccines

This Monday 1,400,000 doses arrive, of which 900,000 from Oxford / AstraZeneca come from Albuquerque, United States, with the active substance manufactured in Argentina and finished in the northern country.

In the afternoon, on another Aerolineas Argentinas flight, 500,000 doses of Sputnik V come. Of the total, 100,000 will be doses 1 and 400,000 doses 2. In addition, on that same plane comes the material to finish a million doses in the Richmond laboratory, such as time before the end of June.

Another plane is scheduled to arrive during the week, this time from Mexico, with 800,000 doses of Oxford / AstraZeneca. The active principle was produced by mAbxience in Garín and the termination in Liomont de México.

Everything indicates that in the next seven days another plane will come from Moscow and by the weekend two million doses of Sinopharm could arrive, contracted with the Chinese laboratory.

With such a flow of vaccines, managed by Minister Carla Vizzotti and the presidential adviser, Cecilia Nicolini, it is expected that the rate of vaccination can be maintained: on Friday the record was broken with 356,000 applications. On Saturdays and Sundays, fewer are vaccinated, but the estimate is that it could reach 250,000 on each day of this weekend.

Buenos Aires groups

The Province of Buenos Aires already has numerous districts in which people between 50 and 59 years old, with no previous illnesses, were vaccinated. This Saturday 131,000 calls were sent for that strip. The bulk of the summons will arrive next week, but sources from the Buenos Aires Ministry of Health, led by Daniel Gollán and Nicolás Kreplak, suggested that this strip could be ended before or during the last week of June. That leaves open the chances for citations of people under 50 years for Monday, June 21 or in the days after.

At the same time, this Monday, the Buenos Aires district will receive some 160,000 doses 2 of Sputnik, to complete the vaccination of those who received dose 1 of the Russian vaccine, mainly in March.

At the press conference on Friday, Governor Kicillof, Minister Gollán and Chief of Staff, Carlos Bianco, surprised with the announcement that vaccination of people over 70 becomes free, that is, without a shift. You just have to present your DNI.

In the Buenos Aires district, it is concerned that out of a total of seven million citizens eligible to register, six million did. In other words, there are a million to be sought and convinced. It is not a large percentage, but it is a large number that, if contagious, constitutes a strong human pain and also a health problem. Making things easier – they do not need a turn – is a first initiative, but later, when the majority of those registered have been vaccinated, they think of teams that will go to the neighborhoods to vaccinate. The agreement with the Indian laboratory Bharat specifically contemplates having a vaccine that is kept at room temperature and does not require great logistics to go to the neighborhoods to vaccinate.

This weekend the City of Buenos Aires is finishing vaccinating all people at risk. In other words, those over 60 and those between 18 and 59 years old, but with previous illnesses.

On Friday, those between 55 and 59 years old without comorbidities, that is, the general population, began to register. 50,000 porteños signed up and, according to the authorities’ calculation, they could be finished vaccinating on Wednesday. Therefore, There will be registration this week, before Thursday, for those between 50 and 54 years old, without comorbidities.

CABA will receive this Monday about 30,000 doses 2 of Sputnik. Minister Quirós estimates that it will not take more than a day or a day and a half to apply those doses to those who received dose 1 in March.

With this panorama, it is possible to foresee that the groups of 50 to 59 will finish being vaccinated around the 15th or 17th and that opens the possibility of registering and vaccinating those under 50, without previous illnesses, as of Monday 21st.

Both the Buenos Aires and Buenos Aires authorities are cautious, they do not want to risk dates that, according to them, are not insured. However, 15 days ago they said that it was unlikely to vaccinate people under 60 before the end of the month and the process is already advanced at the beginning of June. The key is the flow of vaccines and that is happening in a remarkable way: three million doses or more per week. This is in complete contrast to the opposition discourse that continues to claim that “there are no vaccines.”
