An average of 1,558 third reinforcements are being placed per day, while until February 6 there were 458.
The coronavirus vaccination campaign in the province continues to advance, despite the reduction in infections.
It is that in the last fourteen days 21,820 fifth doses (1,558 per day on average) were applied in Jujuy, while between January 26 and February 6 only 2,393 (458 on average) had been placed.
Until yesterday morning, 3 percent of Jujeños had applied the fifth dose, a higher figure than that registered until February 6, when it was 2.77 percent.
The statistics show that in the last two weeks the average application of third-party reinforcements in the province tripled. One of the explanations for this increase could arise from the arrival of bivalent vaccines in Jujuy, since they are supposedly more effective than the previous ones.
Another important fact to highlight is how many Jujeños have already received at least the third dose of the vaccine. Currently, the Public Vaccination Monitor counts more than 370,000 people with this inoculation, which represents 46.3 percent of the provincial population.
This percentage is obviously reduced if the number of fourth doses applied is analyzed, which until the morning of the day before were 128,628, which represents only 16.11 percent of the inhabitants.
A figure that draws powerful attention is that around 94,000 people from Jujuy did not receive any dose of the Covid vaccine, neither more nor less than almost 12 percent of the province’s citizens.
It should be noted that there are also 28 pharmacies in Jujuy that apply the bivalent vaccines against Covid-19, which protect against the Wuhan (China) and Ómicron variants.
Today from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., there will be tests of people with symptoms in the New Terminal, while they will only be vaccinated at Cepam from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
