Pharmacies cannot yet confirm dosage orders. alday
The process is for dengue vaccination for members of the Institute of Medical Assistance Work (IOMA) It has just begun. Not even the pharmacies can verify the medical orders for the application, since the activity just takes the first step by distributing the doses from the laboratory that takes it to the Department’s drugstores . Once this stage is completed, pharmacies will have the opportunity to verify medical prescriptions and apply them, as this newspaper has learned from various sources consulted.
An opening day for this case has not been established, but it is estimated that it will happen in the coming days.
IOMA opened a microsite on its website so that members can know some of the features of the initiative, in which pharmacies can apply (see eldia.com) and in the sectors in which it is expected. It is also reported that members will receive a 30 percent discount on the value of the vaccine. Each dose has a price of around 92,000 pesos, so with the discount, they would have to pay between 64 and 65 thousand pesos.
Unlike the flu vaccine, in which the doses are at pharmacies to be applied as soon as the IOMA member arrives on the premises, this time the management will have one more step. First, the member of the Institute must bring in the medical prescription, the pharmacist must verify it and once the aid arrives, it can only be applied. It is considered that it will be from one day to the next, so the member will have to go to the pharmacy twice, as reported by the College of Pharmacy of La Plata.
Once the first dose is applied, you must wait three months to apply the second dose, they added at the professional association.
Today, while the transfer of vaccine doses from the Taqueda laboratory to the Department’s pharmacies is underway, pharmacists have blocked the testing platform. Once that distribution phase is complete, verifications will be enabled.
It is not yet known how many doses IOMA members will receive. It is known that “people between 15 and 59 years of age” have priority, which covers 30 percent of the cost and “the application is completely free.”
In this newspaper, we started receiving different messages from members who have different questions about the campaign.
WHO TO HELP
At the Institute they clarify that the Ministry of Health of Buenos Aires will contact those who had dengue in the years 2023 and/or 2024, and who live in the AMBA, and that an appointment will be given to them. For this group the vaccine is free,” it was pointed out. “Those who meet the conditions and have not received the appointment must register in Mi Salud Digital Bonaerense.”
They also state that “those who do not meet the priority criteria can register through “My Health” to access the vaccine once it is available.”
At the same time, they warn that there are risk groups for which the vaccine is not indicated: pregnant and lactating women; people over 60 years; people with immunosuppressive conditions, treated with chemotherapy or high dose corticosteroids.
The Institute clarifies that the vaccine is not mandatory, but it is recommended for priority groups (people between 15 and 59 years old who live in AMBA and have had dengue) to prevent lead to serious illness, hospitalization and death.
On the other hand, from the College of Medicine of La Plata it was reported that various social and pre-paid jobs began to cover the use of the dengue vaccine, so members should consult the medical coverage to find out what the requirements and procedures are. access doses.
