“It is important to note that on Wednesday, April 3, the doses will begin to be moved from the central cold room to the different drugstores for final delivery to the pharmacies. This will mean, as a consequence of the distances, that in the first instance the doses will be reaching the pharmacies of CABA and Greater Buenos Aires, immediately then to the large adjacent urban centers, and as the days go by they will reach the rest of the national territory. “, they explained from the Argentine Pharmaceutical Confederation.
