Amid the strong expectations and also the mistrust generated by a certain lack of scientific information, the operation to apply the first 300 thousand doses of the Russian Sputnik V vaccine against the coronavirus began this Tuesday simultaneously throughout the country, which in this This stage is exclusively for Health personnel.
The vaccination scheme began at 9 in all the provinces, which in the last hours received the doses in the framework of an operation that
included hundreds of preservatives, tons of dry ice and a large number of trucks for its logistics.
Based on the results of a pilot test, it was determined that the process to receive the dose can take between 8 and 12 minutes, from the moment the person arrives, is vaccinated, registered and leaves the health center with their card, in a device that requires a large number of people working in each instance
Each province received a proportionate of the 300,000 doses that arrived in the country last week from Russia.

I could vaccinate 85 percent.
The City of Buenos Aires, on the other hand, was assigned 7 percent of Russian vaccines (23,100) and its health professionals represent 18.4 percent of those in Argentina.
With that number of doses he could vaccinate 30 percent.

Mendoza 11,000;
Between Rivers 10,100;
Jump 8,300;

When analyzing province by province, those that appear above the average coverage are those that have achieved a “Sputnik share” higher than their number of professionals.
In addition to the Buenos Aires case, it occurs with Catamarca, Córdoba, Corrientes, Entre Ríos, Formosa, La Pampa, La Rioja, Misiones, San Juan, San Luis, Santa Cruz, Santa Fe, Santiago del Estero and Tucumán.
On the other side, in addition to the City of Buenos Aires, there are Chubut, Jujuy, Neuquén, Mendoza, Río Negro, Salta and Tierra del Fuego.
They are the ones who somehow “pay” the deficit: in this first stage there are only 300 thousand doses to distribute and the doctors and nurses from all over the country total 418,150, according to official data from the Ministry of Health.
The national average coverage, based on the current availability of Sputnik V,
would be 76 percent if the goal were to vaccinate all doctors and nurses.
Fifteen provinces match or are above that ratio.
Nine districts are below average.
The priority will be those who are in the first line of fire against the coronavirus.
"It is emblematic because we can begin to vaccinate people and give immunity to those who are most at risk, which is the health personnel," Alberto Fernández told President Monday.
Among scientists, doctors and nurses, doubts remain.
Largely because the details of the vaccine have not yet been published in a scientific journal, something that, as confirmed to Clarín by the Russian Fund for Direct Investment, is only scheduled for early January.
Referents of different associations and health unions agree on the lack of information although they assure that, despite that, they will apply it
