DeepPurple Posted July 20, 2021 Posted July 20, 2021 https://larepublica.pe/sociedad/2021/07/20/coronavirus-en-peru-puno-madre-de-dios-y-loreto-las-que-menos-avanzan-en-vacunacion/ Puno, Madre de Dios and Loreto are the regions with the lowest doses applied per 10,000 inhabitants. According to data analyst Rodrigo Parra, Puno received 250,950 doses, of which only 162,779 (65%) have been applied. Meanwhile, Madre de Dios received 50,088 and applied 26,940; while Loreto has 345,848 doses and only inoculated its po[CENSORED]tion with 158,875. Given this, the outgoing head of Diresa Puno, Walter Oporto, points out that the doses applied are few because they have not received enough vaccines from the Minsa. "The management that the Government has had regarding the distribution of vaccines has not been homogeneous." "That that Puno is the last (in the ranking) is not true, because the region does not have Sinopharm vaccines in sufficient quantity, indeed, despite the fact that the vaccines should have been delivered on July 9, these just they have arrived today (yesterday, Monday 19) ”, he commented to La República. In the case of Loreto, despite being one of the first regions to receive the doses against Covid-19, it is also in the last places in terms of the advancement of vaccination. For the Loreto infectologist Juan Celis, this has an explanation. He points out that there is a lack of budget and logistics for the application of vaccines in border areas. He points out that there is fear in the po[CENSORED]tion of Sinopharm vaccines, a product of disinformation campaigns. "The locals stop empty because they distrust." For this reason, he requested greater support from the Ministry of Health, in order to implement strategies that allow reaching the most remote po[CENSORED]tions. It is worth mentioning, according to data from the National Center for the Supply of Strategic Health Resources (Cenares), that the regions with the most doses applied per 10,000 inhabitants are: Callao, Tacna, Lima, Arequipa and Moquegua. Homogeneous vaccination The Ombudsman's Office asked to broaden the age range in the vaccination process at the national level, not only in metropolitan Lima. The entity specified that the request seeks to achieve a "homogeneous and equitable immunization against a possible third wave", in addition to the fact that some regions have a high rate of infections due to the disease. "We request the Ministry of Health and regional governments to establish actions to ensure the equitable advance of vaccination against Covid-19 by improving strategies in regions that are lagging behind in immunization," he said on Twitter. Geographic characteristics Given this, the director of Immunizations of the Ministry of Health, Gabriela Jiménez, pointed out that progress has been made in several regions. However, she stressed that not all of them are in the conditions to carry out a vaccination, such as those organized in Lima, Callao, Cusco, Ica and Tumbes. "In Peru, due to the conditions it has of latitudinal floors and high geographic dispersion, not everyone is in the same dynamic for a Vaccination, but they are for important activities," she mentioned. She added that a clear example is the Ucayali region, which developed an intervention in the Purus community. "2,000 doses of vaccines have been displaced and in that community the po[CENSORED]tion over 18 years of age is being vaccinated," she commented. It is worth mentioning that the Ministry of Health will evaluate extending the hours of the inoculation centers enabled in other departments of Peru, according to the institution's spokesperson, Arturo Granados. As is known, since yesterday the vaccination schedule in Lima and Callao has changed. Now it is open until 7 p.m. Negotiation with creators of Sputnik V is almost closed According to the Minister of Health, Óscar Ugarte, the negotiations with Gamaleya for the Sputnik V vaccine are nearing completion. “It also opened with CureVac and Sinovac, which is the one that has been used the most in Chile (...). We believe that they can be finalized before the end of the mandate of President Francisco Sagasti ”. He also said that so far more than 10 million people have received at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. In that sense, she pointed out that more than 4 million have been fully immunized, representing 16% of the target po[CENSORED]tion (27 million residents). “Regarding the po[CENSORED]tion of 33 million, which is more than the target po[CENSORED]tion, this amounts to 33% of the national po[CENSORED]tion that has received at least one dose. We would be in fourth place in Latin America, having started back, this has a lot of merit, "he said. 1
