Although
there are
still
no certainties
about
when
the next stages of
vaccination against the coronavirus will be carried out
, the Buenos Aires authorities are reinforcing the campaigns to encourage residents to sign up.
The objective is to create a
database
with as many people as possible for when the doses arrive, whose arrival in the country is
delayed
despite the announcements that have been made since the end of last year.
Although the number of registrations is on the
rise,
especially since specialized magazines reported on the
high efficacy
of
Sputnik V,
in the Province they aim to achieve greater interest from the population in applying the vaccine.
For this reason, there are
frequent calls
from the provincial Ministry of Health to the municipal authorities of the Conurbano to
insist
on the importance of the dissemination of the necessary information (and strategies) to convince people.
The reason: if today there were all the vaccines that were promised, the vast majority would be left over because there would be no one to give it to voluntarily.
With an eye on what will be the official vaccination campaign, last week Governor
Axel Kicillof himself
made a strong criticism against what he considers "
anti-vaccine activists
" and even called them "miserable", although he did not identify who he was referring to. .
Even this Tuesday, the provincial chief of staff,
Carlos Bianco
, asked in a conference to "stop fucking."
In Greater Buenos Aires, the number of residents who sign up to receive Sputink V.
According to the latest official data, updated until this Thursday,
Morón
heads the list with the highest percentage of residents registered to be vaccinated among the 28 districts of the
Conurbano
.
Although it is still low: almost a year after the appearance of the first case of coronavirus in Argentina, only
16%
of its population asked to apply the antibodies.
The four communes that follow are:
Avellaneda and Almirante Brown
with 15%,
Vicente López
with 14% and
Lanús
with 12%.
On the other side of the coin, at the bottom of the table, appear the most populous and poorest municipality in the country;
and one of the smallest and richest in Greater Buenos Aires:
La Matanza
with 6% of its registered citizens and
San Isidro
with 5%.
The mayor of La Matanza, Fernando Espinoza, one of the first communal chiefs to receive the Sputnik V vaccine against the coronavirus.
Moreno,
from the mayor of the Evita Movement, Mariel Fernández, also ranks, but from the bottom up: he has 34,000 registered on almost 640,000 inhabitants: 5%.
This municipality, along with
Merlo and Quilmes
, were the most infected (in the Conurbano) in relation to its population.
This last piece of information can be misleading since it depends on the number of tests that are carried out.
Beyond the GBA, in the context of the summer season, the Municipality of
General Pueyrredón
(Mar del Plata) of the macrista Guillermo Montenegro started very low with the number of its neighbors interested in receiving Sputnik V but managed to climb until reaching a
12%
of its registered citizens.
In the short-term projections, it is estimated that the waiting list to receive the vaccine will continue to increase during the following days.
So far, each district has received two rounds of
450
doses and
500
for the second that are being applied to
health workers.
Once this first stage is completed - in which the application is carried out in provincial and municipal hospitals - teachers and aides from the public and private sector, security personnel, adults over 60 years of age and people over 60 years of age will have priority to vaccinate. 18 years with risk factors.
"The vaccine will serve to lower the viral circulation in the Province. If everything continues as expected, by the middle of the year almost 70% of the population will be immunized," said Daniel Gollán, Buenos Aires Minister of Health.
