The scandal that arose as a result of
Clarín's
revelation
about the
VIP vaccination
within the Ministry of Health was the confirmation of an official plan that had been showing cracks since the first days Sputnik V began to be applied.
Against all protocol and within the framework of a shortage of doses for the population, front-line officials of the national government,
governors, legislators, mayors, businessmen and trade unionists have been vaccinated since January
.
And it is expected that in the coming days more names of privileged people will be known.
Those vaccinated within the framework of the VIP vaccination were the following: the journalist
Horacio Verbitsky
, the deputy
Eduardo Valdés
, the senator
Jorge Taiana
, the businessman
Fernando López Aldrey
, their relatives
Lourdes and Dolores Noya Aldrey
, the entrepreneurs
Seza Manukian
and
Félix Guille
.
In addition, Foreign Minister
Felipe Solá
was vaccinated separately, at the Posadas Hospital, as the President had done at the time.
Another prominent leader who confessed to having been vaccinated was
Hugo Moyano
, head of the Truckers' union. Along with him, in the Antarctic Sanatorium, his wife
Liliana Zulet
and his youngest son,
Jerónimo Moyano, did

Alberto Fernández
and the now former Minister of Health
Ginés González García
applied Sputnik as soon as it was known that it was authorized for people over 60 years of age.
Both did so on January 21, at the Posadas Hospital, when the second batch arrived in the country.
Still none were given the second dose.
According to the official schedule, the President had to wait to be vaccinated in the third stage of the plan (which has not yet concluded the first) and Ginés in the second, although due to his condition as a doctor he could apply it earlier.
Days later, it was
Cristina Kirchner's
turn
.
It was on the 24th, at the Presidente Perón Hospital, in Avellaneda.
With a particularity.
Vaccination in the province of Buenos Aires at that time was from Monday to Saturday.
In the case of the vice president, a double exception was made: it was a Sunday and the person who vaccinated her was the Buenos Aires Vice Minister of Health, Nicolás Kreplak, and not a health officer at the Hospital.
Cristina, like Alberto, had to apply it in third order.
Axel Kicillof
was the first governor to apply both doses.
The first, the Buenos Aires president applied it as soon as the Russian vaccine arrived in the country, on December 29.
The second, on January 20, in both cases, at the San Juan de Dios Hospital in La Plata.
The Minister of Health
Nicolás Kreplak
, like Kicillof, has already received the two doses in La Plata.
Only one still has the Buenos Aires Minister of Health, Daniel Gollán, over 60 years old.
Vice Governor Verónica Magario complied with the complete vaccination: on January 6 and 29.

Other governors who followed the national request and were vaccinated were the official
Oscar Herrera Ahuad
(Misiones),
Raúl Jalil (
Catamarca),
Sergio Ziliotto
(La Pampa),
Gustavo Bordet
(Entre Ríos) and
Jorge Capitanich
(Chaco).
The justicialista
Juan Schiaretti
did it in Córdoba (he said it was on the recommendation of the Committee of Scientists of the province), in addition to
Arabela Carreras
(Río Negro) and
Omar Gutiérrez
(Neuquén), from local parties.
Of the governors of Together for Change, only
Gustavo Valdés from
Corrientes was vaccinated
.
Yes, there were mayors who did it, such as
Ezequiel Galli
(Olavarría) and
Javier Iguacel
(Captain Sarmiento).
A scandal broke out in San Luis over a personal health complaint about the vaccination of provincial officials.
It was validated by the Minister of Health, Silvia Sosa Araujo, who acknowledged that they were vaccinated because they were "strategic personnel who are related to the governor."
Alberto Rodríguez Saá
, precisely, did it on January 25, and then relatives of the governor were also vaccinated.
In Catamarca, for example, not only was Jalil vaccinated, but
all the members of his cabinet and the mayors of the province
have already received the two doses
.
There are 18 ministries, 36 municipalities.
In the case of the Buenos Aires mayors, the panorama is diverse.
Among those from the suburbs,
Fernando Espinoza
, from La Matanza, applied the first dose on January 16.
Also
Martín Insaurralde
, from Lomas de Zamora, one of the first politicians to become infected with Covid-19, and considered at risk for having been a cancer patient.
Gustavo Barrera and Julio Zamora
, from Villa Gesell and Tigre, are two others who received both doses.
Mario Secco
, mayor of Ensenada, is another of those who was vaccinated.
The former mayor of Navarro, today Secretary of National Habitat,
Santiago Maggiotti
, was also vaccinated.
Also

, San Isidro, received the vaccine Sputnik V.

The owner of the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo,
Estela de Carlotto
, recognized in the last hours that she was vaccinated with Sputnik V in La Plata.
