This morning in a summons made by the Social Security and Social Security Commission of the Congress of the Republic, authorities of the Ministry of Health indicated that they estimate the entry of new batches of vaccines against Covid-19 almost at the end of the week.

The first would be the 1.5 million doses of Moderna that the United States government will donate, however, the Executive has not yet sanctioned the Responsibility Law because Congress has not sent it to the General Secretariat, a key step for the reception of vaccines produced by pharmaceutical companies in that country.

While on Friday a new batch of 200,000 doses of Sputnik V will enter, said Lissette Barrera, in charge of the National Immunization Program.

Regarding the entry of vaccines against COVID-19, Salud indicates that this week they would be receiving donations from Mexico and the United States. Approximately 1 million 700 thousand vaccines in total would arrive in the country.

The country has faced difficulties in advancing the vaccination plan, due to the lack of regulations that allow the State to assume responsibility for possible side effects of immunizers made by United States companies, coupled with delays in the shipment of drugs. made by Russia the only ones that the Government has acquired.

ASK FOR RELEASE SEGMENTATION

Deputy Carlos Barreda of the National Unit of Hope (UNE) explained that until today the Ministry of Public Health and Social Assistance (MSPAS) has immunized 803,868 people throughout the country, but 640,713 correspond to the first dose, which represents 80% missing to complete the complete protection scheme. “Segmentation no longer makes sense,” he added.

The deputy head of the UNE bench, Orlando Blanco asked the Health authorities to open the vaccination for all people over 18 years of age, since the “new variants affect the youngest, then it would not be a bad thing to release it.”
