he National Ministry of Health published a few days ago the schedule of the vaccines against the coronavirus which will arrive in the country. In the coming days, 600,000 doses of vacuna rusa Sputnik V and the arrival of vaccines from the Covax fund is also expected.
Between February and July of this year they will arrive around 9 million vaccines corresponding to the Covax fund. Covax authorities reached a deal on Friday with Pfizer, the only brand-name vaccine that was not part of this initiative. On the other hand, they ensured that the Oxford-Astrazeneca be the first to distribute. During the first quarter of the year, they will distribute 150 million doses, although at the moment it is not known how many of them will reach Argentina.
Covax is an initiative promoted by Bill Gates and the World Health Organization (WHO). Unlike agreements concluded between countries, as was the case with Sputnik V, what Covax does is act as an intermediary in negotiations between companies and governments, and in a way it acts like a vaquita.
Argentina is part of the group of 190 countries who are in some way affiliated with Covax. The representatives of this entity estimate to obtain 2,200 million vaccines throughout the year, to then distribute them to all the countries that make up the list.
They will arrive in the country 20 million doses of the Russian vaccine Sputnik V, 22,431,000 from AstraZeneca and 9 million from the Covax fund.
