After the controversy by Mayor K of Santa Cruz who was vaccinated against the coronavirus together with his wife and his driver, they now denounce that in a Buenos Aires town they applied Sputnik V to 100 Kirchner militants who were not in the risk groups.
This is
Henderson
, the capital city of the Hipólito Yrigoyen district, where the opposition denounced the mayor, Ignacio Pugnaloni, for
inoculating militants and municipal employees.
"We have not made a judicial or criminal presentation.
We have simply made a request for information
, which has been answered with evasions and political questions," said in
Todo Noticias
the president of the block of councilors of Juntos por el Cambio de Hipólito Yrigoyen, Luis Perez
And he assured that because of this they decided to make a public complaint to the media, "so
that the community can be given an explanation of what the criteria have been for placing the remainder
of the vaccines that were left by the health and safety personnel" .
This Wednesday, the Buenos Aires Minister of Health described it as
"false news"
and accused "low-level journalism" of questioning "such a successful vaccination process" in the province of Buenos Aires.
"They are saying about a municipality where militants were apparently vaccinated.
The truth is that we absolutely want to deny that,
" said Daniel Gollán.
At a press conference, the Province's Minister of Health, Daniel Gollán, denied the complaint about the city of Hipólito Yrigoyen.
The minister explained that, punctually in Henderson, it was applied with "the excess of vaccines that there were" to 9 people, so that the alternative is not to "throw it away", in whom "they
had the possibility of receiving the vaccine, because otherwise they had to discard the fifth dose
, there were four recorded, they called one and said 'complete'.
The official's words came during the press conference on the epidemiological situation in the Province.
There he explained that "in very small municipalities in population quantity
450 doses were received at the beginning, because that is how the minimum delivery packaging came.
Later that changed and it was possible to divide into fewer boxes", so everyone received the same amount.
"Obviously that amount of vaccines, in a small city, exceeded the number of health workers they had," he added.
And he said that in those municipalities they continued to vaccinate "priority groups" firefighters, police and personnel "already considered risk groups."
Health Minister Daniel Gollán with Governor Axel Kicillof.
Finally, he stressed that
this application was made on "workers of the municipality"
and not on "militants."
He pointed to "cheap politicking" and asked the opposition not to put "sticks in the wheel."
However, the opposition's complaint points to the
criteria used to prioritize among the militants of the ruling party
the application of the remnant of vaccines that remained after the voluntary immunization of essential personnel.
"Of the 450 doses that reached the district, 250 would have been applied to health personnel, another 100 to members of the security forces and the remaining 100 would have been distributed at their discretion among the militants of the Frente de Todos," explained Councilor Pérez.
JxC deputy
Luciano Bugallo
was in charge of the presentation for the municipality of Hipólito Yrigoyen to provide information on compliance with the strategic plan for vaccination against Covid - 19, amid the complaints that made it to the press.
The legislator instructed the mayor Pugnaloni to report on the "number of doses received and that the municipality of Hipólito Yrigoyen will receive of the Sputnik V vaccine; list of health personnel immunized so far; report the number of vaccinated people who are not part of Health personnel, nor are they in the priority risk groups for this stage of the strategic vaccination plan; explain the criteria chosen to vaccinate non-priority people and if any means were used so that the neighbors could register to be inoculated ".
