The Argentine president, Alberto Fernández, has become this Thursday the first president of Latin America to receive a vaccine against covid-19.

The president received a dose of Sputnik V, produced by the Russian laboratory Gamaleya, two days after the National Administration of Medicines, Food and Medical Technology (ANMAT) authorized its use in the South American country for people over 60 years old.

"I thank the Gamaleya Institute for its scientific work, those who worked to reach us and all the health personnel of our country for their enormous commitment," wrote Fernández on Twitter, who received the vaccine in a hospital in the province of Buenos Aires Aires.

“Getting vaccinated serves to be immune against the virus.

Let's do it ”.

According to the ANMAT, the Russian vaccine reported an efficacy of up to 92% in people over 60 years of age and the immunization of volunteers achieved an antibody formation of 98% in the four weeks after application.

Today I received the Sputnik V vaccine. I thank the Gamaleya Institute for its scientific work, those who worked so that it reaches us and all the health personnel of our country for their enormous commitment.
