Officials from the
second lines of the PAMI and the City Ministry of Health participated this Friday in a meeting
in which they discussed the alleged irregularities in the vaccination process against the coronavirus that Luana Volnovich denounced the day before.
The head of the organization was not present, as well as the Buenos Aires Minister of Health Fernán Quirós.
According to sources from the Buenos Aires government, the meeting "addressed the issue of how to improve the list of affiliates who should receive the Covid-19 vaccine and the different ways to optimize the process."
And it was decided, as a result, "to
advance with the administration of the doses on Monday of next week in the three posts arranged by the social work
. PAMI mentioned that they have a broader base of affiliates that could be used in this new stage".
Tomorrow,
Saturday, "a new meeting will be held
to evaluate the follow-up of the process since today it began with assigning shifts," they indicated from the Uspallata headquarters.
In the virtual meeting, from PAMI, the inconsistencies in the assignment of shifts were raised and it was requested that shifts be enabled at the vaccination points of the social work.
The request that Volnovich had sent was that they be "only for people who have voluntarily registered on the official website of the government of the City of Buenos Aires in the framework of the campaign against COVID-19."
The meeting took place after the Buenos Aires Minister of Health, Fernán Quirós, pointed out that irregularities in the assignment of shifts can be solved "quickly with a work meeting."
"
What we have to do is get back together,
solve the problem of the registry, identify the people well, give them a shift and have them vaccinated by PAMI in the next three days," the Buenos Aires official said this morning.
In this sense, Quirós raised the need to "rebuild operational work spaces" and, after noting that "3,500 vaccines" have yet to be applied, he argued that "it is possible to vaccinate quickly."
On Thursday, Volnovich warned about alleged irregularities in the allocation of vaccination shifts by the Buenos Aires government, after verifying that in the three centers of the entity, with the capacity to inoculate 1,200 older adults,
"there are no shifts assigned for tomorrow."
In addition, he revealed that only 30 percent of those registered attended those areas, that is, "7 out of 10 were absent," Volnovich wrote on his Twitter account and asked himself: "Rare, right?"
"To understand what was happening, we began to call the people who had an assigned shift. The result? I am not astonished: people who had never registered, deceased people, people who did not know they had an assigned shift and people already vaccinated ", he detailed.
Meanwhile, also through Twitter, Volnovich insisted that "something is not working in the shift in the city of Buenos Aires" and asked himself: "Isn't it strange that all the people to whom CABA assigned turns in the centers PAMI members have signed up on the same day, at the same time, within one second? ".
