Nicolás Kreplak, Minister of Health of the State of Buenos Aires, announced the application of the fourth vaccination of the COVID-19 vaccine. In principle, the bill “covers all people whose basic schedule is three doses because they were vaccinated with Sinopharm with reduced immunity or over 50 years of age,” said a government official from Axel Kicillof.
The Buenos Aires health portfolio said on Wednesday that people can apply a fourth booster dose when they reach 4 months after the last application. Regardless of the place of residence, people will be able to apply coronavirus vaccination to all vaccines in the province of Buenos Aires. “The vaccine is free and federal,” said the Ministry of Health.
In the city of Buenos Aires, since the beginning of March, a fourth dose has been applied to people over 50 years of age who received immunocompromised or Sinopharm alone. “The vaccination against COVID-19 has a primary plan, a first and a second dose needed to activate the immune system and protect it from disease. This is true for most citizens. On the other hand, “there is a certain group that has a low immune response because they are undergoing chemotherapy, they are receiving immunosuppressants because they have been implanted, they are receiving corticosteroids, or they are undergoing blood therapy.They suffer because they are diseases that have compromised immunity or because they are diseases congenital or acquired, such as HIV.”, said Fernán Quirós, Minister of Health of Buenos Aires.
He added: “In cases where the immune system does not respond well, the basic two-dose schedule is not sufficient. Therefore, there are plans for the first two doses for most citizens and the first three doses”. Now they also take the fourth dose.
Regarding the possibility of the general population receiving a fourth vaccine, Quirós said that it was still a problem under evaluation.
According to official data from the public vaccination monitor, 95,310,114 million vaccines were administered throughout the country. From this universe, 40,526,118 correspond to the first dose, 40,526,118 to the second dose and 18,054,841 people have already received an additional or booster dose.
According to the Infobae Data Unit, 88% of the Argentine population applied the first dose as a percentage of 80% 2, 39% 3, which is one of the approved emergency preparations available in the United States.
From the available information, it seems that 18,374,773 people are waiting for the third dose, and since the second time 4 months have not passed, many have not yet received it, but 6,500,000 people have already passed more than 5 months since the initial schedule and, according to all medical predictions, will no longer be protected against possible infections.
In addition, 5,282,629 people who did not receive an available vaccine and 4,096,504 who started therapy with a single dose and did not reapply the second dose. Almost 10 million people have no protection against SARS-CoV-2.
Despite the fact that there are 7,565,976 vaccines that are distributed in different states without application, health authorities are concerned that vaccination rates have slowed across the country, while the Ómicron BA.2 variant, before winter, is causing new disease outbreaks elsewhere in the world.
In this context, the Ministry of Health reported on Wednesday that 39 people died from coronavirus and 4.681 new infections were recorded in the last 24 hours. With these data, the total cumulative number of cases since the beginning of the pandemic was 8.985.836, and the total number of deaths totaled 127.334.
On this last day, 47,676 tests were performed, so the positive rate recorded is 9.81%. This rate is encouraging because it is less than 10% for the WHO to consider controlling the epidemic.
Currently, there are 67,243 active cases across the country. These are people who have been diagnosed with the disease and have not yet been discharged to the national system. Meanwhile, the total number of recalls reached 8,791.29. On the other hand, of the total number of deaths reported today, 17 are men and 22 are women.
According to the epidemiological part, there are currently 741 patients with COVID-19 hospitalized in intensive care in Argentina. The share of beds at the national level is 39.3%, and in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA) it is 40.1%.
Of the 4,681 infections reported this afternoon, 2,239 (47.83%) were from the province of Buenos Aires, 579 from CABA, 23 from Catamarca, 36 from Chaco, 86 Chubut, 31 Corrientes, 393 from Córdoba, 53 from Entre Rios, 71 from Formosa, 6 Jujuy, 55 from La Pampa and 4 Mendoza in La Rios; 232 from Mendoza Misiones; 99 from Neuquen; 58 from Rio Negro; 34 from Salta; 58 from San Juan; 16 from San Luis; 20 from Santa Cruz; from Santa Fe 163; 3 in Santiago del Estero; 10 in Tierra del Fuego, 314 in Tucumán.
