I'm not sure what this means. Can I receive notice of my appointment on Whatsapp? What do I have to do to set it up?

There's nothing you can do immediately if in Buenos Aires City unless you are in the current appointment group of 80 years or older who are allowed to make an appointment.
Once your age group is allowed to make appointments online for vaccination you will be able to receive notices via WhatsApp.
Activating WhatsApp will be part of the registration process for a vaccination.

Preliminary results of the clinical trial in Peru of the Sinopharm vaccine were leaked last night on Peruvian television. Two vaccines (one for the Beijing strain and one for the Wuhan) were trialed. The results were efficacy of 11% and 33.5% respectively. It is a major scandal, naturally. Congress has scheduled an extraordinary session for tomorrow. The government has been quick to point out that the final results won't be known for another eight weeks. The TV network that broke the story is under attack for spreading fake news; however, nobody has denied the figures. The government's line is that the final results will show higher efficacy where efficacy is measured as prevention of severe illness. Another network says the TV program failed to report another of the preliminary results which shows that those who received the vaccine and became ill were 91% less likely to end up in hospital than those who received the placebo and become ill. The study included 7500 subjects, of whom three have died from COVID--although it is claimed two had received the placebo.

Some of the personalities caught up in Peru's version of VacunaGate are understood to have taken up to four doses of the vaccine.

The study included 7500 subjects, of whom three have died from COVID--although it is claimed two had received the placebo.

Following the denunciation of an alleged reduced efficacy of Sinopharm's COVID-19 vaccines that are being applied in Peru, the Ministry of Health (Minsa) clarified today that the effectiveness of these doses is 79.34%, according to the results presented by the Beijing Institute of Biological Products based on phase III clinical trials conducted in the United Arab Emirates.
In a statement, shared on its social networks this morning, the Health sector adds that the prestigious scientific journal "The Lancet" published the results of the Sinopharm vaccine in which it reveals the neutralizing capacity in phases I and II in different age groups.
Likewise, the Ministry asked the citizenry not to be surprised by information issued by unofficial sources and without scientific rigor.
For its part, the National Institute of Health (INS), through a statement, indicated that the clinical trial of the Sinopharm vaccine has not yet been concluded, so to date the results of the effectiveness of the doses continue to be evaluated.

"As reported by the researchers, it has not yet been concluded. The clinical results have not yet been finished being qualified and there has been no opening of the blind in most of the participants, so the efficacy and safety results of the research product continue to be evaluated, "he said.

He added that the formulation of the report containing the conclusions on the evaluation of the efficacy and safety of the research product requires a thorough data analysis, with adequate control of biases and confusing variables. Likewise, the interpretation of the results must be given in an objective and impartial manner.

In that sense, he urged the Peruvian University Cayetano Heredia (UPCH), and the researchers to "immediately clarify" the journalistic versions that circulate about alleged results of clinical trials. He also requested to make every effort to have the final results of the research in the shortest time and disseminate them to the scientific community and the general public.
