The measure is in line with what was announced yesterday by the Minister of Health, Carla Vizzotti, who announced that immunocompromised people from 3 years of age and older and those over 50 years of age who received the Sinopharm vaccine will be inoculated with a third dose to complete their primary schemes.
The total of vaccines applied so far in Buenos Aires territory is 23,113,416, of which 13,039,973 correspond to the first dose and 10,073,443 to the second. Of this total, 94% of those over 60 years of age have a complete scheme, as do 76% of those between 18 and 59 years of age.

Health insisted that "regarding the development of immunity, there is local evidence, in addition to international evidence, indicating that all vaccines allow the development of significant levels of antibodies, which have the ability to prevent the virus from generating symptomatic infection."
"On the other hand, this evidence has been completed with what has been reported by T-cell immunity studies (a type of immunity that complements the immunity generated by antibodies) that indicate that both inactivated virus vaccines (Sinopharm) and adenovirus ( Sputnik V) generate a high T response even in those people who did not present detectable antibodies", it was indicated.
The official text explained that the analyzes to date indicate a high effectiveness against infections (greater than 70%), hospitalizations and deaths (more than 75%) for all vaccination schemes.
Covid vaccination: free second dose for all those over 18 in the province of Buenos Aires
"In the case of Sinopharm, the same results are observed in the young population and only in people over 80 years of age a slight decrease in effectiveness was reported" , they highlighted from the Ministry and added that "there are works at an international level that show a decrease in the effectiveness of inactivated virus vaccines (such as Sinopharm's) in people over 60 years of age".
"Taking into account all this information, the decision was made to give a third dose to those over 50 years of age vaccinated with Sinopharm . An additional heterologous dose will be applied to these people," they asserted from the area.
Therefore, they indicated that all immunosuppressed people who have received two doses of any of the available vaccines will receive an additional dose with a homologous or heterologous schedule.
The authorities of the province of Buenos Aires recalled that the population from 3 to 17 years old can register through the VacunatePBA application or at https://vacunatepba.gba.gob.ar/ or to get immunized against Covid-19.
Meanwhile, those over 18 years of age have the possibility of accessing the so-called "free vaccination" by going without a shift to any of the 400 points where the coronavirus vaccines are applied, only with a DNI that proves their address in the province, to receive your first or second dose.
