2024 - Rebound of COVID cases in Argentina

[Johnny]

I went to the local SESAC place near me today. I got the Moderna vaccine after waiting for about 5 minutes.
No side effects so far.

Good work. In my experience the side effects occur the following day but YMMV.

The specialist described that, however, "the vast majority of people go through the infection with mild symptoms such as sore throat, cold and some cough"....The Health Ministry maintains that high-risk people (50 years or older, pregnant and immunocompromised) should receive booster doses every 6 months, while for low-risk people (between 6 months and 49 years inclusive, without comorbidities) the booster dose should be every 12 months....

Primer muerto en Salta por COVID en 2024: los expertos advierten la importancia de reforzar la vacunación

En las últimas algunas semanas, se registra un incremento en la cantidad de contagios. Según el Ministerio de Salud nacional, más de 10 millones de personas de 50 años y mayores hace más de 6 meses que no reciben un refuerzo. La opinión de los expertos a Infobae

www.infobae.com

First death in Salta from COVID in 2024: experts warn the importance of reinforcing vaccination. The General Director of Epidemiological Coordination of Salta, Dr. Francisco García Campos explained to Infobae : “We were surprised by the increase in cases. We had 89 in a single week. Since February 2023 we had between 20 to .30 cases per week, according to our Epidemiological Bulletin that we continue to prepare weekly.” The person who died is a 40-year-old man. “He had 4 doses of the vaccine and underlying diseases. He entered the hospital in an advanced state of the respiratory process and died a few hours later,” said García Campos, who confirmed that there are currently 7 patients hospitalized in Salta....In addition to Salta, there is an increase in the number of cases in the NOA. An example is Jujuy, which registers 711 affected people, as reported on Tuesday by the province's Ministry of Health. Likewise, they clarified that only two people are hospitalized....

....In a recent note in Infobae, Dr. Ricardo Teijeiro (MN 58065), infectologist at the Pirovano Hospital and member of the Argentine Society of Infectology (SADI), expressed: “There is an increase in cases. For now, we see that the usual variants are circulating, but with a significant and quite important increase for this time of year in cases that are not serious. It is expected that, come autumn and winter, we will have greater circulation and that the variants that are in the northern hemisphere will also begin to circulate"....“The current concept of COVID vaccination booster has nothing to do with the number of previous doses, because it is very common to hear that 'they say I have five doses, I have six doses.' What matters now is knowing when the last dose was, if a long time has passed there is less probability that the vaccine will protect you against severe forms. So going back to the beginning, it is very likely that as cases increase, we will begin to see some complications with hospitalization, as we are already seeing, and eventual mortality of patients with risk factors.”

So is it impossible to buy tests?

You can have mine if you wan. I bought it in 2022 it still has the receipt dated 5/16/2022. All the blisters are sealed. I was going to do it myself but then I realized it was a bit more complicated. I wound up having it done in a local pharmacy. I wanted to travel and I needed the documents to prove I was negative.
