During the event, the main vaccination strategies in Argentina were presented, experiences were shared by region, and the regulatory project for the vaccine law was presented.
BUENOS AIRES.- The Minister of Health of the Nation, Carla Vizzotti, participated in the days to celebrate the Day of the Vaccinator and the Vaccinator, in which they worked on the main vaccination strategies in Argentina, vaccine safety and the standardized vaccination record . In addition, the draft regulation of Law 27,491 on the Control of diseases preventable by vaccination was presented – which is about to be published in the Official Gazette – and a presentation was made on the national production of pharmaceuticals and biologicals and on the actions necessary to advance the technology transfer process.
“This national meeting is very important to prioritize, recognize and make visible the immense work that vaccinators did before and during the pandemic, and that they continue to do now,” Vizzotti highlighted and maintained that “vaccination is a public policy and a construction collective that has to be carried out with a federal and equitable look”.
Thus, he indicated that “we do everything with the conviction that the State has to be present with a supportive and equitable look so that each person gets what they need regardless of where they were born and what social coverage they have.”
Within this framework, the minister spoke about the history, evolution, impact and integration of vaccination in Argentina, and then participated together with national senator Pablo Yedlin and undersecretary Castelli in the presentation of the regulation project for the law on control of preventable diseases by vaccination. The minister emphasized the health impact achieved through vaccination in our country: Argentina maintains the status free of measles and rubella (congenital rubella syndrome), registering the last case of poliomyelitis in 1984, endemic measles in the year 2000, neonatal tetanus in 2007, rubella in 2009. Additionally, vaccination has made it possible to control outbreaks of diphtheria that mainly affected infants and to reduce 96% of cases of hepatitis A transplants.
In addition, Vizzotti spoke about the national production of vaccines and the transfer of technology together with Castelli and PAHO representatives. In this regard, the installed capacities present in our country were prioritized, such as the development of the national multipurpose public plant (INEVH-ANLIS), which made it possible to recover the national production of the vaccine against Argentine hemorrhagic fever in 2020-2021, with an investment of 5 million USD. Another relevant example is the more than 50,000 formal jobs generated by the pharmaceutical, chemical, bio and nanotechnological industry in our country, associated with more than 3,000 jobs in the field of research and development, and a very growing public-private interaction of the science of knowledge (represented by Science and Technology) and the biotechnological developments of national and international companies.
