The Government quickly seeks to leave behind the vip vaccination scandal, which generated wide rejection both from the ruling class and from society as a whole.

In this context, the new Health Minister, Carla Vizzotti, met this Monday with the Chief of Staff, Santiago Cafiero, with whom she agreed on "the steps to follow," as revealed.

After the meeting, the official denied that there is a VIP vaccination system set up in the ministry, spoke of "10 people vaccinated in an incorrect situation" and defended Ginés González García, who resigned on Friday after the scandal was revealed.

"

There is no vip vaccination

, it was a specific situation of vaccination of 10 people in an incorrect, reprehensible situation, that the President has taken an immediate and very strong measure. That there is a vip vaccination means that there is a facility where people go there permanent. That is false. It is absolutely false that there are 3,000 doses for discretionary use by the Ministry of Health, "he said.

On Friday, after journalist Horacio Verbitsky revealed that the first dose of the Russian vaccine against the Sputnik V coronavirus had been applied after speaking with Ginés González García, the President asked the minister to resign, in an attempt to deactivate the (inevitable) scandal.

Vizzotti made a strong defense of the figure of González García and his management at the head of the Ministry, although he admitted that it was "a mistake" that the former official "assumed".

"Ginés was not in the Ministry at that time either. He stated in his resignation letter that those people should go to the Posadas Hospital and that, due to an error, the vaccination was generated in the Ministry. It was a mistake, he stated in his letter of resignation, but that cannot in the least cloud Ginés 'management in the pandemic and Ginés' trajectory. We have to balance the two. It is a mistake that caused him to leave the Ministry and it seems very important to say that he was not in the Ministry at that time. It is an extraordinary and exceptional situation, "he stressed.
