The Ministry of Health of the Nation confirmed this Friday
another 220 deaths and 10,753 new cases
of coronavirus throughout the country.
Thus, Argentina already has 46,575 fatalities and 1,853,830 infections since the arrival of the disease to the national territory, at the beginning of last March.
Meanwhile, the province of Buenos Aires announced that it
plans to vaccinate 126,000 people per day
with a scheme designed to perfect the process, after having immunized 230,000 Buenos Aires within the framework of the national inoculation plan that began with health workers.
This was stated by the Minister of Health of the province of Buenos Aires, Daniel Gollan, who explained that "the theoretical design" developed to carry out the immunization process against the coronavirus will make it possible to "vaccinate 126,000 people per day."
He admitted that "between the desktop design and the territory there is a space that will have to be managed", but made it clear that the device for the application of the dose of the Russian
Sputnik V
vaccine
"is very well organized."
"Our expectation is that, the teams are prepared. They will take the time necessary for the application, for the registration, for the immediate recovery period. We have 126,000 people per day who can potentially be vaccinated in the system," Gollan said in statements to El Uncover Radio.
The minister became the first person over 60 years of age to apply the vaccine, after receiving it this week, and stressed that he
had no discomfort "neither the first nor the second day."
On Thursday, after the ANMAT authorized the application of the Russian vaccine to people over 60, President Alberto Fernández and members of the national cabinet, such as his Minister of Health, Ginés González García, were vaccinated.
Gollan announced that those over 70 will be one of the first groups selected to be vaccinated, as well as teachers and security forces.
Meanwhile, he reported that nursing home staff are also being vaccinated because "this sector is at higher risk within risk."
He explained that the plan is for the inoculation process against Covid-19 to continue with those over 60 years of age in general, thus completing the risk groups.
Gollan made clear that these plans depend on the rate at which vaccines will be received.
"It will not be all homogeneous," he clarified and explained that "it is not that they all come at the same time" and they are all vaccinated together, so, he warned, "there are people who wait a little longer."
