Ricky Maravilla

(75) received the

coronavirus

vaccine

last week at the Papa Francisco hospital in

Salta

.

And although he is old

enough

to be able to do it,

the musician did it without a turn,

which generated a great controversy around the vaccination of celebrities. 

On the Vacunate website, of the Salta government, it is indicated that

citizens must request an appointment to be able to access the Covid vaccine.

However, Ricky decided to go anyway, without having a previous appointment. 

"

I went, I stood in line, there were five people and when it was my turn they kindly welcomed me, they gave me the vaccine

. Soledad applied it to me and I carry it in my memory and I send greetings and thanks to all the professionals as a citizen of Salta”, the singer reported in

Nosotros a la Mañana

(El Trece, Monday through Friday at 11).

The musician said that it was a relative who told him that at the Pope Francis hospital they were vaccinating people over 70 years old and that is why he decided to go directly to the place. 

But before Ricky's story, the journalist

Sandra Borghi

asked him:

"It is not what the protocols say, do you know that something is wrong? Or is it like that in Salta?

" To which the artist replied: "I cannot comment. In this regard, I can say that there were five older people in front of me, I stood in line and when it was my turn they wrote me down, asked for documents and vaccinated me and

on March 25 I have to give myself the second dose

”.

The singer explained that he was repeatedly calling to request a turn without getting an answer, so he went directly, like several of his neighbors.

"In line there were people from the neighborhood, older people.

Being of the necessary age and the possibility, I did it, but I cannot answer for the authorities

," Ricky added. 

Faced with the commotion over his non-shift vaccination, the singer thought that perhaps what would have happened was that some of the people who were listed to receive their dose did not go, so it was decided to place it on the people who were in the place .

"What would you do if you have a number of vaccines and the people listed did not go and have free doses left?" He asked

.

Asked about the adverse effects, Ricky detailed, in dialogue with

Intruders

(America, Monday to Friday at 1:30 p.m.): "I didn't have any kind of reaction, I didn't even feel the prick. Really a blessing. On March 25 I have the second dose. , I have to be attentive, as soon as they inform me I have to go to the hospital ", concluded the singer.
