A new case of irregular vaccination in the middle of the second wave of coronavirus and the difficulties to inoculate the population.
This time, the scandal shakes the province of Santa Fe, where
by administrative "error" they immunized about 100 Culture employees
who are not older than 70 years or belong to any risk group.
The irregularities occurred last week and were revealed by the
Rosario3
site
on Thursday.
The government of Peronist
Omar Perotti
launched an investigation to determine what happened.
The vaccine to public agents was applied in Rosario and once the irregularity was known, the provincial Minister of Culture,
Jorge Llonch
, held the agents who received it responsible.
"The people who were vaccinated and now point out that it was not appropriate, they
should have acted with civic responsibility, show solidarity and not do so
," the official said in statements to local media.
The first explanation that emerged from the provincial government was that
there are employees of that ministry that appear as part of Education
, from the time when both portfolios worked together.
But that situation dates back to 2007.
Llonch clarified that the portfolio he leads "
never made a list
and the cabinet staff was not vaccinated."
Most of those who received the vaccine are plant employees with several years old, so the speculation was that it could be a
clerical error
.
There are also artistic education teachers who are linked to the Ministry of Culture.
But from the province they clarified that "those who do not have teaching hours, cannot and should not be on the list sent by officials of the Ministry of Education."
"We are not going to tolerate any error
. There is a clear objective and that nobody can get out of it, which is vaccination ordered by priorities. Those responsible for an action against the objectives that I have proposed, will have to face the corresponding sanctions", Perotti assured in statements reproduced by the newspaper
La Capital.
The governor decided to
open an administrative summary
to the officials of the Human Resources and Administration areas of the Ministry of Education to investigate whether there were anomalous situations in the vaccination process and, if it was determined that there were, to determine responsibilities.
