Which other vaccines will arrive in Argentina and when could the herd immunity be reached.
Gines Gonzalez assured that ARG bought 51 million dosis and seeks to purchase another another 20 million.

Which are in the trial phases most advanced....Oxford/AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Sinopharm. According to the WHO, there are 12 vaccines which are in phase 3. Besides the ones already mentioned, there are the ones developed by Novavax, Anhui Zhifei Longcom, CanSino, Janssen, Sinovac and Bharat Biotec. See list of vaccines in phase 3 of development....

so...the government is crying about foul treatment but has no one to blame but themselves for defaulting in the first place. gotta love that logic.

Chinese vaccines are poised to fill gap, but will they work?

For those countries that have not yet secured a vaccine, China may be the only solution.

The Venezuelan dictatorship signed a contract with Russia to acquire 10 million doses of the Sputnik V vaccine against the coronavirus

La dictadura de Venezuela firmó un contrato con Rusia para adquirir 10 millones de dosis de la vacuna Sputnik V contra el coronavirus

“Estamos preparados para vacunar a la población lo más pronto posible”, sostuvo Delcy Rodríguez, vicepresidenta del régimen de Nicolás Maduro. Argentina y Bielorrusia eran hasta el momento los otros dos países en adquirir el inmunizante desarrollado por Moscú

Quite an interesting read as it expands the subject well beyond Argentina, including information on other countries that are chasing the topic.

The Venezuelan dictatorship signed a contract with Russia to acquire 10 million doses of the Sputnik V vaccine against the coronavirus
Quite an interesting read as it expands the subject well beyond Argentina, including information on other countries that are chasing the topic.

In particular this excerpt....
....The Venezuelan regime has expressed its confidence in the Russian vaccine on Tuesday, considering it "very safe", and has said that it is prepared to vaccinate the population "as soon as possible", although it did not specify the date. Venezuela began administering the vaccine to about 2,000 people in October as part of a clinical trial, as Russian authorities approved Sputnik V without counting the third completed phase.

Last week, the Latin American country exceeded a thousand deaths from covid-19, which is why it has turned to the United Nations (UN) to release the funds blocked by sanctions and thus begin the mass vaccination of its population.

Precisely, Delcy Rodríguez advocated again this Tuesday, through Twitter, for the financial resources of Venezuela to be "unlocked to access the vaccine against covid 19", as she ensures that the Venezuelan regime has resources held in banks in Europe and the United States due to the sanctions against officials of the Chavista administration. The vice president, in line with Maduro's constant statements, pointed out this Tuesday against Colombian President Iván Duque, whom she accused of "discriminating" against Venezuelans by "denying them the vaccine" in his country....

Unlike Argentina, Belarus and Venezuela, the rest of the countries interested in acquiring the Russian vaccine condition the decision while waiting to certify its scientific "suitability". In total, more than 50 nations - including India, Brazil, China, Argentina, Belarus, Hungary, Venezuela, Nepal, Uzbekistan, Egypt, Mexico and Kazakhstan - have demanded this candidate, orders that would amount to more than 1.2 billion doses. However, and with the exception of the application that has already begun to be deployed in Argentina and Belarus, the rest of the countries that have expressed interest condition their requests to a certification of "suitability" that confirms its effectiveness....

Why Argentine Airline Trade Unionists Boycotted the Agreement with Pfizer - Written by Luis Gasulla and Federico Teijeiro
The true story of the trips to China and Russia, and the role of Pablo Biró.
Several sources of Aerolineas Argentinas assured that, part of the lack of agreement with Pfizer, came from the pressure exerted by the National government so that the flag airline, in conjunction with the Airline Pilots Association (APLA) - in line with Kirchnerism - was in charge of bringing vaccines to the country and distributing vaccines to the provinces.
It was not the only reason why the Argentine government ended up closing negotiations with Vladimir Putin over the Russian vaccine, but it was essential for Pfizer to begin to tire of talking with the Argentine Ministry of Health....

For a look at a developing vaccination program that is really launching like riding at a gallop, barebck no saddles this NYT article pulls the covers off China's virus vaccines and administration with vaccines produced by Sinovac and Sinopharm with little or no Certifications and relying largely on anecdotal remarks by the inoculated. "Badges? We don't need no stinking badges!"
A timely contrast with Russia and Argentina's Vaccine Tango.

China Has All It Needs to Vaccinate Millions, Except Any Approved Vaccines (Published 2020)

Across the country, local governments plan to inoculate 50 million people against the coronavirus by early next year. But the vaccines have not officially been approved.

I remember reading that Pfizer was requiring transport of the temp controlled cargo via DHL, that Argentina found DHL very expensive and wanted to use their capable national airline and equipment instead.

The Chinese laboratory Sinopharm announced that its vaccine against covid-19 is 79% effective
Currently, four vaccines developed in China have reached phase 3 of clinical trials - two from Sinopharm, one from Sinovac and another from CanSino Biologics
A more complex and informative offering of information on China vaccines than the NYT article

El laboratorio chino Sinopharm anunció que su vacuna contra el covid-19 es eficaz en un 79%

Esta cifra es inferior a las de las vacunas de los laboratorios Pfizer/BioNTech (95%) y Moderna (94,1%). El británico Astrazeneca, asociado a la Universidad de Oxofrd, afirmó por su parte que su vacuna tiene una eficacia del 70% pero que podría alcanzar el 100% con dos dosis
