These people, said Kreplak “They were the first to whom we gave the third doses and we told them that they were not reinforcement doses but that it was a dose to fulfill the same objective as the rest, they fulfilled two dosesthat is to say that they have a fourth dose that is already authorized and, once they have completed four months since the third application, they have to go to the vaccination center to give it to them”, without the need for a previous shift.
Buenos Aires Get Vaccinated
On the balance of the campaign Buenos Aires Get Vaccinated assured that it is extremely positive since “we are doing very well in the first and second doses, 94 percent of the population of Buenos Aires has the first and 84 percent the second. This is very high, they are numbers that are not seen in almost any side”.
Those who have already authorized a fourth dose and completed four months from the third application must go to the vaccination center for reinforcement.
He also highlighted that the number of people with a two-dose primary regimen who come to the vaccination centers to receive the third dose continues to increase, but pointed out that “what is certain is that, in recent weeks, slowed down (vaccination), we are vaccinating 50,000 people a day and we had vaccinated more than twice as many”.

That is why he insisted that “it is important that those who have completed four months since the second go for their third dose,” and recalled that throughout the province of Buenos Aires vaccines are free, that is, they do not require an appointment.
Boys and girls between the ages of 3 and 12 are given only two doses, and those older than that age with a two-dose primary schedule are given the third or booster.
Finally, the Buenos Aires minister asked all Buenos Aires residents to complete their primary vaccination schedule, be it two or three doses, during this month of March.
“It’s important that we don’t let it go, because if we have a new outbreak it will be in April or May, so we have to get vaccinated now because we have to give the body time to generate immunity,” he insisted.
