The Aerolineas Argentinas flight that departed early this Monday will return on Tuesday afternoon with 350,000 doses 2 of the Sputnik V vaccine and 500,000 doses 1. The vaccination of those who turn around three months from the first application begins to pay off. But the Russian authorization is for two flights, so it is planned a new flight for Thursday, which would bring only 1 dose, maybe about 800,000 doses as in the previous planes. And a third flight is planned for the weekend, which will also bring doses 2 – about 500,000 – and more doses 1. This Tuesday, in addition, the active principle also arrives for a first completion test of dose 2 of Sputnik V at the Richmond Laboratory: it would be about 150,000 doses. Finally, Between Friday and Sunday, more than a million doses of AstraZeneca will arrive from Albuquerque, United States, with the active ingredient manufactured in Garin.
As Minister Carla Vizzotti and presidential adviser Cecilia Nicolini announced, there were two flights to Russia on the horizon. In both cases there were delays due to a logistical problem, the lack of boxes, provided by DHL. The problem seems to have been overcome and that is why the first Aerolineas Argentinas flight departed.
Aircraft departures always depend on Russian authorizations. In this case, two flights have already been given the ok, so the announcement of the second game is imminent.
And, as often happens, the amounts are defined by the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), which is harassed by 70 countries that demand vaccines.
