After the "VIP Vaccination" scandal in the Ministry of Health of the Nation,
Clarín
confirmed
on Friday
that dozens of university students, under 30 years of age, were vaccinated by the province of Buenos Aires, and that a good part of them were militants of groups related to Kirchnerism.
This Saturday, Governor Axel Kicillof came out to answer on social networks.
"First they attacked care as an attack on freedoms, then they called the vaccine poison. Now they point to the vaccination process, when the Province is reaching the first half a million vaccinated," began the thread of six tweets.
"In compliance with the regulations issued by the Ministry of Health of the Nation, we began by vaccinating all members of the entire health system. From the doctors and therapy nurses
to the administrative staff who distribute supplies,"
continued the Buenos Aires governor.
The governor's response comes after the publication that the vaccinated were
performing
tasks as
telemedicine operators
in the so-called early care CeTep for Covid-19 consultations.
They were supervised by the Buenos Aires Ministry of Health, in coordination with 29 national universities within the province, plus the Faculty of Exact Sciences of the UBA, which joined the agreement.

"The objective: that if a new wave comes, we are ready with the protected health system. Take care of those who take care of us. And this includes everyone. Also those who from the beginning of the pandemic
monitor cases and respond to the called - he
continued -. If the workers of the covid-19 telemedicine centers are infected, we lose a fundamental tool. But also, the process was transparent and following the priorities, as established by the Plan from the beginning. "
In turn, he also mentioned the case of the
false information of an alleged vaccinated cousin of his
, who was a health worker who has the same last name but is not related.
"As they invented a cousin to dirty me and now they stir up the specter of vaccination for the militancy, they want to pass a care center for COVID patients into a basic unit," Kicillof remarked.
And he concluded: "They are not going to distract us. They are not going to stop us. We are going to vaccinate all Buenos Aires residents who so wish."
Before
Clarín's
query
to the Province about this information on Friday, they had replied that "vaccination corresponds to them as they are personnel from the Covid health scheme of the province of Buenos Aires."
And they highlighted differences around the VIP Vaccination scandal.
"Their vaccination was not done in any 'VIP vaccination', but they were registered on the website of the province as 'non-UTI health personnel' and
they were given a random appointment,
" expressed provincial sources.
No insulation
Kicillof

with two doses
of the Sputnik V vaccine and with a high and proven production of antibodies against the coronavirus," it was detailed .
In addition, they added that "having analyzed the case with experts from the Ministry of Health" will not proceed to the isolation of the officials present at said activity, "but yes - they said - we will redouble the care measures during the next few days."
