How can you make an appointment?
To register, people must enter the City's website and complete the form with their personal data.
Those who have difficulty doing it through a web page can also contact
the number 147.
Registration can be done by each person or a family member.
Shift confirmation
Then a link is sent via email, SMS or WhatsApp, so that people can enter and choose
the day, time and place of the vaccination closest to their home.
Once this step is completed, a shift confirmation is sent through the communication channels that each one declared.
What to do on the day of the shift?
The neighbor must show up with his ID at the center on the day and time indicated in the shift and wait for the call from the health team to receive the vaccine.
After receiving the dose, you
will have to spend half an hour under observation
.

How does the
process go on?
Once this period has elapsed, the neighbor will be given the corresponding certificate and he / she will be able to return home.
What about the second dose
Each neighbor will be contacted again in order to assign the turn for the application of
the second dose,
which can be given after an interval of 12 weeks.
As ordered by the Federal Health Council, the second application of the COVID-19 vaccine is made from an interval of
12 weeks after the first dose
.
This decision was made throughout the country to vaccinate more people in less time, due to the lack of vaccines.
Vaccination in nursing homes
The City Government reported that it is developing a door-to-door operation.
Until Wednesday they vaccinated 10,827 residents of
453 establishments, out
of a total of 498. They hope to be able to finish the vaccination in the next few days.
For their part, nursing home workers have access to vaccination as health personnel.
There residents are vaccinated regardless of their age.
How do you follow the vaccination plan?
The Buenos Aires government, according to what the national government set, has almost completed
stage 1
, for
health personnel
.
Stages 2 and 3 are for people over 80, 70 and 60. The latter will be able to register when the previous phases progress and the arrival of
more vaccines
is confirmed
.
Then, in
stage 4, there
is the "strategic" staff.
The City has already vaccinated some
16,000 teachers
, who share that category with security force personnel, among other public agents.
But everything seems to indicate that once the people over 60 are finished,
they will advance to stage 5
, which involves people between
18 and 59 considered a risk group for suffering from previous diseases.
