Within days of offering her help to the City, the executive director of PAMI, Luana Volnovich, made a strong criticism of the coronavirus vaccination campaign carried out by the government of Horacio Rodríguez Larreta.
Through a Twitter thread, Volnovich assured that in the PAMI vaccination centers in the Buenos Aires neighborhoods there are
"the refrigerators full of vaccines
against the covid; but the vaccination points, empty."
"On Monday we opened three vaccinations to vaccinate 1,200 elderly people a day. But do you know what happened? Only 30% of the people came. 7 out of 10 were absent. Weird, no? Do you know how many shifts we have assigned tomorrow?
Zero. Yes , zero. And in the refrigerator hundreds of vaccines,
"tweeted the camper leader who was involved in the immunization of the City.
He continued: "Very strange. To understand what was happening
we began to call
the people who had an" assigned shift. "The result? I am not out of my astonishment: people who
had never registered, deceased
people
,
people
who did not know
that they had an assigned shift
and people
already vaccinated
".
In this sense, Volnovich - who accompanied his tweets with images - said "he doubts the entire vaccination campaign" in Buenos Aires and assured that "
the logistics
of the City
fail
."
And he wondered: "How do they assign priorities? How do they distribute shifts and vaccinations? Why are there older people who have waited two months ago and others get vaccinated in 48 hours? And
Why don't they assign more shifts to PAMI
vaccinations?
? "
I can not believe what my eyes see.
In the City of Buenos Aires we have refrigerators full of vaccines against COVID;
but the vaccination points, empty.
I personally came to see what was happening.

In early April ,
in the
midst of the tug of
war between nation, province and city by the measures to be
taken against the strong second wave of coronavirus- Volnovich had said that social work was to
"work on demand"
Alberto Fernandez in the immunization campaign against COVID-19 in the City of Buenos Aires.
The measure had been taken after the head of the Buenos Aires government asked the President for
more vaccines to immunize the population at risk in Buenos Aires.
The phrase "at the request of the President
"
that Volnovich had chosen to communicate his predisposition to assistance had brought suspicions in the City and the memory of previous tensions with the head of PAMI due to the closure of
the Spanish Hospital
, in which he harshly raised your profile.
Ten days ago, Luana Volnovich warned about
the lack of beds in intensive care for members of the social work of retirees
who have to be hospitalized for coronavirus.
With the vaccination +70 and +75 concluded among the residents of the City, this week the shift was opened for adults over 65 years of age.
According to official data (Statistics and Censuses of the City) it is a population of around
140 thousand inhabitants.
This will be Stage 3 of the vaccination plan that follows the guidelines of the National Ministry of Health.
