This morning the Minister of Health, Enrique Paris referred to the vaccination process against the coronavirus in Osorno, this, after from the municipality they will tweet that they suspended the inoculation process for today due to lack of stock.
In this regard, the Health authority expressed on Radio Biobio that this reported situation is “not true”, and that also, currently a truck with doses is going to the place, which would be arriving at 9.15 am.
“(The lack of stock) It is not true, I believe that Mr. Arancibia, the Health Director, is either misinformed or is communicating something that is inaccurate. The current stock is 864 doses, and also the seremi sent 230 more doses “, he expressed. “It is creating an unnecessary alarm in the population.”
As he explained, it is correct that they do not have doses of the Pfizer vaccine since when they are thawed they must be placed in a maximum of 4 to 5 days, and these are sent on Mondays. However, that is not the case with Sinovac doses.
On why the municipality then announced the suspension of the vaccination process until Monday, the minister indicates that he does not know the reason.
“Sanitary inspectors are going to Osorno to review the situation, to verify or deny, and in the case that it is false, to carry out a sanitary summary, because it is the second or third time that this person gives the same news and then it turns out that we are sending him vaccines at the same time, when he is receiving the vaccines he says that he has no vaccines, “he said.
