The City of Buenos Aires received 43,000 vaccines from the Chinese laboratory Sinopharm. They are to apply
second doses
among health personnel, teachers and older adults who received the first. It is that China has already warned that it will not send vaccines at least until July, so both the national government, as well as the Buenos Aires government, had to modify the strategy, which consisted of applying only first doses, in order in this case to
complete the immunization scheme.
What will have a
bump
will be the progress of the Buenos Aires plan, since between Thursday and Friday
the Sputnik vaccines
that were being applied among those over 65 and 60 years old
are finished
, in the third stage of the 6 that comprise the
groups of risk.
Until this Friday,
682,726 porteños received first doses
.
According to official information, 1,200,000 people make up the six stages of the groups considered "target" for the first stage of vaccination:
45% are still missing.
Last Friday the registry was enabled and on Monday the immunizer began to be applied among those
between 60 and 65 years old
.
But since at the same time it was continued with those over 65, the vaccines received were enough to complete some
33,000 doses for the first age group.
According to official data, more than
91,700 people signed up
;
33,221 were assigned a shift for this week.
How do you follow the plan?
For now
there is no official information on the arrival of new lots
.
The AstraZeneca vaccines that Argentina should receive for having produced the active principle have not yet arrived.
It is also unknown when more shipments of Sputnik V will come from Russia. And Health Minister Carla Vizzotti said on Thursday that only on May 21 a plane with a batch of 860 thousand doses of
Covishield
that will be used to complete the immunization will
land in Ezeiza.
of those who have already received the first dose.
Vaccination of people over 60 years old in La Rural.
In the City they await the arrival of more vaccines to advance with those who are already registered.
In the Buenosairean Government
they do not say in public that they remain without vaccines.
The head of government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, spoke in those terms a few weeks ago, when he was in a dispute with President Alberto Fernández. But now the public confrontation, at least in this respect, seems to have subsided.
So technically the Buenos Aires vaccination plan
will not be interrupted.
In the distribution of vaccines from Sinopharm to the Capital they touched
43,200
and are part of the
two million
that arrived in the country in recent weeks to complete the vaccination of those who have already received the first dose.
"All people are going to complete the vaccination schedule," Vizzotti said Thursday.
And he added: "We are working with the Russian Federation to start receiving
the second component
to apply it among those who have already received the first dose."
Specifically, this Friday in the City it is not known
when the application of the first doses will continue.
So far,
183,775
people
among health
personnel
received the first dose of Sputnik-V or Sinopharm, while
138,950
completed the scheme with the second component.

For adults older than 70 years,
340,112 have
already received the first dose of the Covishield (Oxford-AstraZeneca), Sputnik-V, or Sinopharm vaccine.
13,214 already have the second dose.
Among them there are
134,425 people over 80
, 190,766 between 70 and 79 years old and 14,921 nursing home residents.
In the group of those over 65,
118,789 doses
were applied
.
The first vaccines that enter will be destined to the
58,479 over 60
who are registered pending the arrival of new batches of immunizers.
And to complete the 25% of those over 65 who have not yet been vaccinated.
In total, the City received 864,700 vaccinations and administered 853,976, 98.8%.
Once that stage is completed, the next one includes
strategic personnel.
There are about 220 thousand people, including members of the security forces, agents of the Buenos Aires government who work in the streets.
Also teachers and non-speakers: some 17,000 have already received the first dose of the Sinopharm vaccine and should complete the scheme in the coming days.
The
step 5
includes persons aged 18 to 59 with risk factors or previous diseases. In the Province of Buenos there are municipalities in which they have already begun to vaccinate them. Unlike the City, Buenos Aires has an open registration registry. The priorities of older adults are taken into account when granting the shifts, but since this group is almost complete, they are also vaccinating people with risk factors. According to
Clarín
,
150 thousand Buenos Aires residents under the age of 59 have
already been immunized with at least one dose.
In the City,
it is not ruled out to start with this group
even before advancing with the strategic personnel of stage 4, although it is not yet confirmed what will happen and the decision depends on the vaccines that the district has.
