Vaccine delays
In the last hours, Russia recognized delays in the delivery times of Sputnik V, which is why the vaccination program in Argentina will be delayed.
The Argentine authorities had admitted that the flight that will arrive from Moscow will bring 220,000 doses (between first and second applications), and not the 600,000 that they had announced on Monday, in the delayed departure of the Aerolineas Argentinas plane to Russia.
In a joint statement, the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) and the National Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology of Gamaleya estimated that the delay in the delivery of doses is up to three weeks and that it would only increase "significantly" in April.
