Minister of Health Urges Dengue Vaccine Placement Despite High Costs

In the Wednesday Day program, the Minister of Health of the Province, Federico Mangione, urged the placement of at least one dose of the dengue vaccine. To have complete coverage, two applications are required, however each one costs around $70,000, requiring more than half a million pesos for a typical family to immunize all members.

“We are convinced that the patient who is already infected has a load of immunity and has to take care of himself, but with one dose he could have good coverage,” indicated the head of the health portfolio.

Regarding this data, he implied that the information is constantly evolving, especially with regard to the application of new vaccines, since at the time of its launch in July of last year it was believed that it immunized the patient for four years once. both doses placed. “Today it is said that it can last up to ten years,” he explained.

In this sense, he once again highlighted that the vaccine is completely safe and effective, recommended by the ANMAT (National Administration of Medicines, Food and Medical Technology) for people between 4 and 60 years old.

He also pointed out that the Province intends to buy more vaccines, however they do not have the resources and pointed out the Nation for not investing in doses for Argentines. “Why is it proven when you buy it?” He questioned. “It is an economic problem that they do not want to take care of,” he stated.

Regarding repellents, he stated that the price at which they are being obtained in some places seems abusive, a consequence of “some fanfare” and recommended the cream, “because it lasts longer and there is less loss of product, also in aerosol form.” part of the product falls on the foot and part in the air and there is no total coverage,” he warned.
