State governments may not purchase vaccines against Covid-19, as they had requested from the federal government, reported the Governor of Yucatán, Mauricio Vila Dosal.
In an interview with EL UNIVERSAL, the president indicated that this morning the governors held a meeting with the Secretary of the Interior, Olga Sánchez Cordero, and the Health Cabinet, where they were informed of the refusal to purchase vaccines, despite the fact that the government Federal had given them the green light on this issue a couple of weeks ago.
Vila Dosal explained that two weeks ago, at the Conago health commission, he himself raised the possibility of purchasing vaccines by the entities “and they had told us that we were going to be able to acquire vaccines, that Insabi I was going to provide some guidelines “
However, this Thursday there was a “signal change”: “They tell us that it will not be possible for the states to be acquiring vaccines, since this would contravene the national vaccination strategy. They have some technical criteria that they expressed to us.
But, in general terms, the states are not going to be able to buy the vaccine.
Is that final?
That’s what they told us today.
Today, I specifically asked when they were going to deliver the guidelines from Insabi, Dr. Hugo López-Gatell intervened and said that practically the guideline was going to be that the states were not going to be able to acquire the vaccine because it contravened the national strategy of vaccination.
