One of the shortcomings is in immunization within the nursing home.
In the province of Buenos Aires,
only 25% of the population was vaccinated
.
In the City, meanwhile, the percentage stretches to
35%
.
The delays in the arrival of the consignments have been slowing down the deadlines of the national vaccination plan, while fear grows about the beginning of the second wave of the pandemic in the country.
This Monday the eighth Aerolineas Argentina flight arrived, bringing a new shipment with 500 thousand doses of the Russian Sputnik V vaccine. With this new shipment,
4.8 million doses
were received
, a figure that is well below the
21. 1 million
that it was expected to receive between December and March, according to the scheme published at the end of January by the government.
The Minister of Health, Carla Vizzotti, estimated that with this new batch, added to the 330 thousand doses received on Friday,
"at least one week of vaccination is assured
.
"
In the last pass, he specified, 753 thousand vaccines had been applied.

According to data from the Public Vaccination Monitor, more than 4.1 million doses of the vaccines were distributed to the provinces - in addition to Sputnik V, there are Sinopharm and AstraZeneca -, of which about 2.6 million were applied.
The numbers of infections in the region set off the alarms of the health authorities.
The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) warned this Tuesday about
the "terrible" increase in coronavirus cases in Brazil
and the consequences that its neighbors Venezuela, Bolivia and Peru are already seeing.
In addition, he highlighted the rise in infections in Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay.
The transmission of the virus "continues to dangerously increase throughout Brazil," PAHO Director Carissa Etienne said at a press conference, considering it "crucial" that the South American giant adopt preventive measures to stop the spread of the virus.
"Unfortunately, the terrible situation in Brazil
is also affecting neighboring countries
. Cases have increased in Venezuela, particularly in the states of Bolívar and Amazonas, which border Brazil," he said.
