“No doubt” on the safety and efficacy of the vaccine Sinopharm for application pediatric. The Buenos Aires Minister of Health confirmed, Fernan Quirós, who stressed that the institutions that gave their approval “They are extremely reliable.”

“There is not much doubt, the National Immunization Commission of Argentina has recommended the app, the Anmat has recommended the use and Argentine Pediatric Society has recommended the app. It seems to me that they are very prestigious institutions in the country that have accompanied these vaccination concepts for decades and have been very clear, “the Buenos Aires official confirmed at a press conference.

Anyway, Quirós recalled, vaccination is optional and each family can consult with their pediatric doctors about the application of the dose in children. However, he warned, “the institutions that have seen the information (about the vaccine) and have recommended its application are extremely reliable and of high quality, so there is not much doubt.”

On the other hand, the Buenos Aires minister said that the Government of the Town foresees complete coronavirus vaccination booster “before fall” next year for all the most vulnerable people. In addition, he recalled, in the district there is a “high degree of acceptance” of inoculation, compared to other countries.

“The reinforcements in the initial vaccination schedules will be released by groups. We hope to have completed the health personnel and people over 70 years by December and January. Then we will see with which group we continue. We hope that before autumn we will have vaccinated with the booster dose to all of us that we have to protect, “he said.

The official said that, after the small increase in the number of positive cases registered three weeks ago, the daily values ​​stabilized “in 170 to 180” people and specified that fundamentally they are young people who are not yet vaccinated or who do not have complete the inoculation scheme.

“We have applied the 97.2 percent of vaccinated that the Government gave us national. 87.2 percent of the population residing in the City already have the first dose. It is an extremely high value compared to other countries in the world, there is a high degree of acceptance by the locals about vaccination, “he stressed.

At the same time, yesterday the vaccination of the booster doses was launched for health workers and those over 70 years of age who completed their initial vaccination schedule for up to 180 days and Quirós remarked that the objective is “to travel with more protection in 2022.”

They will be summoned without the need to manage a shift, and must wait six months from the application of their second dose because “the immune system has a maturation process and if we hurry the effect is a little less”, clarified Quirós.
