....AstraZeneca could also bring forward the delivery of its vaccines to Argentina, originally scheduled for the end of March....At the same time, six million doses of the active element of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine have already left for Mexico, produced by the mAbxience laboratory in Garín. However, a serious US restriction endangered the packaging, but in the last hours the Mexican foreign minister intervened and everything will be done according to plan. There is some chance that doses of Oxford-AstraZeneca will be advanced to Argentina due to the delay in the authorization of the vaccine in Europe....

....The mAbxcience laboratory, owned by Hugo Sigman, delivered six million doses of the active element of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine on Monday. The boarding left this Tuesday on the Aeroméxico flight....Everything indicates that the expected deadlines will then be met and the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine will be available at the end of March throughout Latin America. 22 million doses are planned to arrive in Argentina.....

....A possible good news in the last hours: there could be a dose advance for Argentina. AstraZeneca has made it known that it could provide vaccines originating from Europe's slowness to approve their use. In other words, vaccines manufactured to supply Europe would be derived to Argentina since our country already has the approval of the ANMAT for the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine. It is not clear if the vaccines will come directly or if they will be part of the items purchased - nine million vaccines acquired by Argentina - from the Global Access Fund for Vaccines (Covax) of the World Health Organization.

AstraZeneca lamentó el egoísmo de ciertos países durante la pandemia

El gigante farmacéutico británico-sueco lamentó la falta de colaboración entre Gobiernos y dice que se vive una carrera por adquirir vacunas donde todos quieren ser los primeros.

25 January 2021
AstraZeneca lamented the selfishness of certain countries during the pandemic. The British-Swedish pharmaceutical giant lamented the lack of collaboration between governments and says that there is a race to acquire vaccines where everyone wants to be first.

Pascal Soriot, executive director of the British-Swedish pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca, which together with the University of Oxford developed a vaccine against the coronavirus, today lamented the lack of collaboration between governments in the fight against the pandemic and denounced the selfish behavior of some countries. "The achievement of the first vaccines against Covid-19 could have been the occasion of a great celebration, but unfortunately it was not because there was a bit of "me first" behavior," said Soriot during a virtual event of the World Economic Forum in Davos.

Soriot did not give examples of specific countries, but explained that just as in the first months of the pandemic, several nations disputed access to health protection material, in recent times that same race is being experienced in the world to acquire vaccines. Criticism about the stockpiling of drugs against the coronavirus and the unequal distribution of vaccines between countries have become recurrent.

The World Health Organization (WHO) reported through a document issued last week that of the nearly 60 countries that began their vaccination campaigns, only 11 concentrate 90% of the doses. And I clarify that of the 40 million doses that were applied, the vast majority correspond to high or middle-income nations and very few were applied in poor countries. Another parallel report indicated that the list of 11 includes the United States, Israel, the United Kingdom and a large part of the member countries of the European Union.

"The world is on the brink of catastrophic moral failure," Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO director, warned that week about the distribution of immunizations. "It is not okay for healthy young adults in rich countries to get the vaccine before healthcare workers and older people in poorer countries," Tedros said. He also questioned rich countries for buying vaccines "above their needs, while in Africa they are still struggling with the Covax facilities," reported the US news network CNN.

Candidato presidencial ecuatoriano aseguró que Alberto Fernández le "garantizó" 4 millones de vacunas

Las declaraciones del postulante del correísmo, Andrés Arauz, que tuvieron lugar durante el debate presidencial del 17 de enero pasado, trascendieron este miércoles en Argentina.

27 January 2021
Ecuadorian presidential candidate assured that Alberto Fernández "guaranteed" 4 million vaccines.
The statements of the postulant of Correismo, Andrés Arauz, which took place during the presidential debate on January 17, transcended this Wednesday in Argentina....

...."A few months ago I met with the President of Argentina, Alberto Fernández, and he has guaranteed us an endowment of 4.4 million doses to be able to serve you, Ecuadorians. We have seen how the rights to health have been sullied, eliminated, erased ", said Arauz in his speech. The Ecuadorian had visited Argentina on January 9, when he held meetings with the head of state and with the vice president, Cristina Kirchner...."We have started the talks so that the Oxford vaccine is available according to the schedule presented. We will be a government that defends their rights," he had added in his social network account....

....Arauz's sayings were questioned by the Ecuadorian Minister of Health, Juan Carlos Zevallos, who stated: "It is ridiculous, because Mr. Fernández, no matter that he is the president of a Republic, does not have the power unless he is "AstraZeneca's owner and I would find out at the time of having vaccines that corresponds to the Argentine people for other countries." "It does not correspond to him, it corresponds to the AstraZeneca company, those 4 million vaccines I do not know who they will be given to, if they are going to be increased or decreased, but it is very unlikely and to me that statement is not correct" added the official.
