This has been confirmed Bugle from three sources involved in the program, which depends on the government of Axel Kicillof but in which universities from all over the province as well as the University of Buenos Aires participate.

According to the website of the Ministry of National Education, the health portfolio of the province of Buenos Aires has appeal to “public universities based in the territory of Buenos Aires to carry out remote monitoring of confirmed cases and close contacts and support for groups at risk such as the elderly “.

Many of these young people, who have not fulfilled their tasks in person and are not health workers, they were immunized over the past month, with doses of Sputnik V. The vast majority of these young people have under 30, according to the same sources.

Lot cThe telemedicine centers created by the Provincial Ministry of Health operate in a large number of national universities located in the territory of Buenos Aires , among which the National University of La Plata (UNLP), Tres de Febrero (Untref), Hurlingham (Unahur), Arturo Jauretche (UNAJ); that of Lanús (UNLa); that of the West (ONE); that of José C.

“This is the way to add them to the cause,” an official at one of these universities told Clarín of the alleged political strategy of adding memberships in the future. La CamporaIn this sense, it is the Kirchnerian group with the most ancestry among the young people who they campaign in student centers and that they lent themselves to provide telemedicine services.

Clarín confirmed that at least national university students like Lanús and Quilmes, but also students of the Faculty of Exact Sciences of the UBA, they were vaccinated.

In the case of Exactas, the tasks started in July, but they joined the agreement officially September 28, and from there, according to information from an industry source who spoke with this medium, students and graduates of the Faculty who work in the role of “operators” and “supervisors” have been vaccinated at within the Covid-19 Prevention Center – Correct, he works in the Ciudad Universitaria Pavilion 1.

At least 43 of these young people who work at the Exactas center of UBA, assured a source consulted, they were vaccinated. None of them were at the appropriate stage to be vaccinated, because they were not health workers they were not over 70 years old either. Bugle could verify that several of them they were represented on social networks receiving their dose of Sputnik V. in some cases, the doses were applied that same week, after the VIP vaccination scandal became known.

It is also noted that “the said agreement provides for the allocation of scholarships for both roles”.

A similar situation regarding the vaccination of university students included in this program has occurred in the universities of Lanús and Quilmes, according to what has been verified Bugle. In Lanús, noble sources of the house of studies they confirmed to this medium that telemedicine staff have been fully immunized. But they marked differences from Exactas by explaining that “they are volunteers who have until the third year of full nursing care and have completed four training modules”. None fulfilled the duties of health personnel in hospitals or medical centers, for which they should not have been vaccinated in this case.

In Quilmes also vaccinated university students, as Clarín was able to verify. The search for candidates for volunteering, which could come from any career, had as a condition who were under 40, had no risk factors for their health, and did not live with people over 60. From the University of Quilmes they avoided commenting. Among all the study houses that have vaccinated young people, as confirmed by Clarín, the number of vaccinated exceeds 100, but this figure would be much higher because they worked on the plan 26 more universities.
