Argentina’s authorities is planning to vaccinate 10 million folks, almost 1 / 4 of the inhabitants, in opposition to Covid-19 within the first two months of 2021, President Alberto Fernandez stated.
“Argentina has a vaccination capacity of approximately 5 million people per month, with which we could vaccinate 10 million between January and February, giving priority to healthcare, security and elderly people with prevalent diseases,” state news company Telam cited Fernandez as saying in an interview with native radio station FutuRock.
Fernandez stated he’ll head the vaccination chain of command, which is able to contain the ministries of well being, inside, safety and defence, Xinhua reported.
“It is not an easy task due to the infrastructure required by vaccines,” Fernandez stated.
“We would be vaccinating something like 23 per cent of the population, and that would allow us to enter a very tranquil March, for what could be a second wave,” added Fernandez.
The South American nation registered its first case of Covid-19 on March 3 and registered 1,339,337 instances of an infection and 36,347 deaths from the illness as of Wednesday.
