The cracks in the computer device that the Province adopted for its vaccination plan allowed
traps or maneuvers
to be
filtered
to access the doses without being on the priority lists.
This is how Antonella Belén Delmonte (24), a model and advertising promoter from Merlo, was able to take a photo with the vaccination certificate and upload it to her Instagram account.
It is the last and most promoted episode of irregular vaccination in the campaign that the Buenos Aires government began almost 100 days ago.
The young woman, very active in social networks, would have falsified information to
appear as health personnel
and thus obtain a shift at the provincial hospital "Héroe de Malvinas" in Merlo, which applies 150 injections per day against the coronavirus.
Antonella's would be no exception.
Among the 2,339,532 immunization applications made by the Province there are
other “revived” ones such
as the one registered in that hospital in the western suburbs.
Outwit the system
Is it necessary to be a hacker to circumvent the provincial application?
It does not seem to be the case of the site www.vacunate.gba.gob.ar or that of the mobile application that is downloaded from online stores.
The platform that manages the number of applicants for immunization (more than 6.5 million Buenos Aires are registered today) has
an algorithm that determines the granting of appointments
.
It is to refer each interested party to some of the 400 vaccination centers that operate throughout the territory.
In addition to personal data, address and telephone number, the digital form asks them to declare to which "population group" the citizen belongs.
Several categories appear (by age; by risk group, among others), but there
are two that can be violated
.
One of them is that of "teachers and assistants" that has two options: "initial, primary, secondary";
or "tertiary, university."
It was the first channel through which many young people without risk factors went to enter the vaccination center.
Classes at universities are suspended in person.
The idea of the Government was to protect with Sputnik V, Sinopharm or another formula to the teachers who had to retake the presence in the schools.
But in La Plata, Mar del Plata, Tandil, Bahía Blanca and other cities with a strong university imprint, Buenos Aires citizens who are assistants, assistants or higher-level teachers accessed the bliss.
It was not necessary to present documentation at the time of the appointment with the vaccinator.
It was only required to click on the page tab to get a specific chance to get the turn.
The other virtual slot consists of opting for the category “No ICU.
Health personnel".
It is to register health agents who
do not work in intensive care units
.
For them, those who work in therapy, there is another alternative: “ICU.
Health personnel".
The page clarifies that whoever chooses these variants must "prove their condition" by providing at the time of application of the vaccine "salary receipt, contract, registration or qualifying certificate from the institution."
Now: does anyone
control that documentation
?
As
Clarín was
able to find out
, some immunization centers verify and others do not.
“
It is random.
I know dozens of cases that were asked of them.
I know people who took everything and did not demand of them.
And I know some who gambled and passed it, ”a manager of a private health company acknowledged to this newspaper.
Difficult to control
In the Ministry of Health they recognize that it is
a field that is difficult to control
.
“Those who are national, provincial and municipal public employees are crossed in the databases that we have in the ministry.
Those of private services are also registered.
The problem occurs in situations with
agents who say they work in a private laboratory or in black in a clinic,
"admitted health sources.
This is what happened with Antonella.
For this reason, the director of the “Héroes de Malvinas” hospital filed
a criminal complaint against the young woman
.
She stayed at UFI 3 in Morón and aims to determine how the maneuver that ended with the photo of the girl in the vaccination center and her first dose certificate was like.
The front page of the file is "investigation of illicit".
Staff statement would be offered.
And also the director of the health center ordered an internal investigation.
Buenos Aires inoculated 2,071,963 people with the first component of the anti-Covid-19 formulas and 267,569 Buenos Aires with two “punctures”.
On Wednesday, it supplied 54,138 vials and there were sessions where 92,000 patients were reached.
"There may be irregular maneuvers, but we have enabled a tab to make complaints," the Chief of Staff, Carlos Bianco, clarified a few days ago.
It was when he was consulted for alleged "VIP vaccinations" after the episode became known in the National Ministry of Health and that led to the resignation of Ginés González García.
These procedures "by the left" that are known in Buenos Aires do not include possible political favors or "accommodations" due to closeness to officials or those close to power.
That will have to be resolved by the Justice, which instructs a case in federal jurisdiction (for the incident in Health) and another in the provincial courts, where political activists from La Cámpora, leaders of the ruling party and municipal officials from various districts are targeted.
The manipulations described above are attributable to
eventual "strains"
or people who try to access the shift when they do not register the conditions to do so.
The aids or favors that are done from other sides do not enter through a cell phone application.
