Other doses are arriving to maintain the vaccination rhythm …

This Sunday at 2 a.m., a new Aerolineas Argentinas flight leaves for Moscow. This time to withdraw 100,000 doses of Sputnik 1 and 400,000 doses 2. As always, he will arrive the next day, Monday afternoon. That same Monday, but in the morning, 900,000 doses of Oxford / AstraZeneca arrive from Albuquerque, USA, whose active substance was produced in Argentina. Over the next week another 800,000 doses from Mexico will finally be in Ezeiza, also with the active part – the substance that goes against the virus – made in Garín. All these shipments ensure that the vaccination rate is kept slightly above 300,000 daily doses and what, as advanced Page 12, allows the application of at least one dose to under 60 years, without history of disease, before the middle of the month.

Beyond the Sputnik V finishing project in Argentina, in Marcelo Figueiras’ laboratory in RichmondIt is crucial that the Gamaleya Institute and the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) continue to send at least two million doses per month. In April, 2,100,000 vaccines came from Moscow; May 2,070,000 and June began with the 810,000 who arrived on Thursday. The next game will be that of the plane leaving at 2 a.m. on Sunday. Minister Carla Vizzotti and Presidential Advisor Cecilia Nicolini, who have maintained negotiations with Russia from the start, have assured that 100,000 doses 1 and 400,000 doses 2 are forthcoming.

The arrival of the second component makes it possible to complete the vaccination of those who received dose 1 in March, that is, they will be in the expected three months. Argentina, like Canada and the United Kingdom, has decided to favor vaccination with dose 1 because it allows a first vaccination to be administered to people who are not protected, while the application of dose 2 reinforces which is already protected, so she seeks to lengthen the distance between one and the other to about three months. In the case of Sputnik V, it does not make sense to delay the application any longer because dose 2 cannot be applied as dose 1 because they are different. Or if Summons will arrive next week for those who received Sputnik Dose 1 in March.

The Aerolineas Argentinas flight will return on Monday, the same day 900,000 doses arrive from Albuquerque. It happens that vaccines produced in its active part in Garín, had completion problems in Mexico and AstraZeneca therefore diverted part of the production to the United States. In this factory of the British laboratory, there are still 20 million doses being finished, all with an active substance manufactured in mAbxience, the laboratory of Hugo Sigman. With Monday’s two games, 1,400,000 vaccines are added in a single day.

However, 800,000 doses of Oxford / AstraZeneca from Mexico are also expected to arrive next week. Everything was announced by Aztec President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and Argentina’s Alberto Fernández, but the match was delayed due to quality checks in both countries. Now it looks like the expedition would actually take place. In truth, Argentina had 400,000 and Mexico 400,000, but the northern country “lends” its share.

A flight to China is scheduled for mid-June to collect two million doses of Sinopharm. and around this time other vaccines will also come from Albuquerque and Mexico.

At the end of the month the doses supplied by the United States would arrive. There aren’t many, but every vaccine is very important. On the one hand, six million doses distributed among 12 Latin American countries, so logic indicates that Argentina is said to have around 800,000. And there would also be a set or two of the World Health Organization’s Covax program. In all cases, the country will be able to exceed 30 million people vaccinated by the end of July. It should be intensive decompressing therapies where so far over 80 percent are unvaccinated patients.
