City promised to expand testing and vaccination capacity

In an analysis of the health situation in the district, he assessed that the daily positives currently stand at 7,500 and this Thursday reached 12,000 due to the contagiousness of the Omicron variant.

Despite the increase in cases, “the occupancy of beds remains low, that is, infections increase but not hospitalizations,” said the president.

This is due, he emphasized, to the positive effects of the vaccination campaign, which In the City, it has 92% of those registered with one dose, of which 86% have already received the second and 22% the third.

“The vaccine protects us, because although it does not prevent infections, it makes the picture milder, it does not require hospitalization,” he said.

In this sense, he warned that of the total number of internees, “65% of the cases do not have any dose, the additional 9.6% have only one.”

Rodríguez Larreta reported that his administration will begin to contact from this week and throughout the month of January “with all the people who received their second dose four months or more ago so that they have their turn.”

“We are going to contact each other from the City, it is not that you have to appear at the centers”, Indian.

As for those whose waiting time exceeded four months, they will receive a text message with a link “from January 14” once a week so that they can “get an appointment through the BOTI”.

“We are going to insist until they are vaccinated,” stressed the mayor and announced that the City will add “new schools” to “speed up vaccination” that will allow adding “36 thousand daily shifts.”
