Covid Vaccination Argentina

[Johnny]

I had zero side effects from the first Pfizer jab, and felt crappy all day with a mild fever after the second.

 

[Alby]

Had no reaction to Sputnik. Wonder whether I got the vaccine or just some saline fluid.

That thought crossed my mind too! It was a strange kind of relief when the side effects finally hit.

Preocupación por la variante Delta: el Gobierno evalúa un cambio en la estrategia de vacunación y acelerar la aplicación de las segundas dosis en los mayores de 60 años

El objetivo es acortar el período de tres meses entre la primera y la segunda dosis en uno de los grupos de riesgo más voluminoso del país. La opción está en estudio debido al alto grado de contagiosidad que tiene la nueva cepa. En Argentina solo se registraron tres casos y fueron aislados

www.infobae.com

Due to the increasing concern about the Delta variant hitting Argentina:

• the national government are now reported to be considering to focus on changing their strategy to prioritize second doses for over 60 year olds, nationwide
• this follows the decision by some local governments to already focus on second doses for all who have already received the first
• this follows concerns in the medical community that having only one dose is ineffective against this strain combined with the strain being far more transmissible
• this follows the recent stricter border restrictions and a few detected cases amongst recently returned travelers in argentina.

Vacunas: qué sucederá con los argentinos que esperan su segunda dosis

Vacunas: qué sucederá con los argentinos que esperan su segunda dosis

Vaccines: what will happen to Argentines waiting for their second dose.
During the first days of July, more than a million Argentines will have completed the initial 90-day period that the Government had stipulated and will have to receive their second dose of Sputnik V, a component that takes longer to produce and the one that was missing. Although the option of combining vaccines has already been raised, no firm trials are known to support it. Fabiola Czubaj, from LA NACION, tells us about the survey made by LN Data on the status of vaccination, new local production and negotiations for new brands....

Just wanted to report on my successful vaccine sign up. I have no DNI so entered my passport number, I received confirmation by email straight after, then another a few hours later on Sunday night asking me to book the appointment and that it was open for 48hrs. I could only choose Tuesday 29th (2 days later) and some places weren't available. I had email confirmation of my appointment straight after. Also, as I'm here on an expired visa from a couple of years ago, I checked with a friend who is a hospital Dr to see if I was eligible without a DNI as I had assumed I wouldn't be or at least a low priority. He said you just need a 'service agreement/bill' of some sort to show you live here and are not a visiting tourist. I'm going to take my apartment contract. It does say as much on the signup website as well - DNI or service agreement showing name. My experience so far has been excellent, all done within minutes. I'll post an update how it goes as still a little nervous as I may be met by someone at the entrance who misunderstands the technicalities and insists on a DNI. Fingers crossed.

ps. Forgot to say website said it is open to over 40 year olds.

If you don't mind me asking is your apartment contract with a rental agency or direct with the landlord? I might go the same route when it opens for people above 30.

No problem. It's direct with the owner, fingers crossed it's sufficient.

Hi, Does someone here know when (more or less) people under 35 could register to get the vaccine? Thanks!

 

[FrankPintor]

You might get lucky in July, from what I read 14 million doses, mostly Sinopharm are due to arrive. Unless they get diverted as has happened in the past, I believe those doses are intended specifically for younger people. Waiting isn’t nice, hang in there.
