A plane from the state Aerolineas Argentina, from Moscow with 400,000 doses, landed in the afternoon at the Ezeiza international airport. With this flight, the fourth since the operation began at the end of December, the South American country received a total of 1.2 million doses, a figure that is well below the almost 10 million that the government hoped to apply for January.
