The country is making positive progress with its Covid 19 Vaccination Plan in which, to date, 90,901,480 vaccines have been administered and, thanks to this, the Government is already talking about applying the fourth dose.
Although Argentines are already provided with a reinforcement of the coronavirus vaccine, the fourth dose It would be used especially in the population at risk, since their immune system is more fragile.
According to the Ministry of Health, the fourth dose It would begin to be administered as of March 1, for which it will be a requirement to have received the initial booster, that is, the third dose.
In this sense, the people who will receive the additional dose will be primarily those over 3 years of age with immunosuppression problems and those over 50 years of age who have already received the third inoculation.
It should be remembered that for the fourth dose administered, it is necessary that a minimum of 4 months have passed after the application of the first reinforcementmeaning that the last inoculation should have been in November.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health confirmed that 77% of the population completed their vaccination scheduleafter applying 90,901,480 vaccines throughout the national territory.
In which other Latin American countries is the fourth dose applied?
In addition to Argentina, which will begin administering the second reinforcement soon, other countries in the southern cone have already included the fourth dose within your vaccination plan.
This is especially so with the population over 50 years of age and with people with immunosuppressed diseases, as is the case in Brazil, Chile and Uruguay.
However, experts point out that there is still not enough scientific information on the need to administer a second booster. Despite this, some governments are already talking about the fact that the vaccine could have an annual application.
This if one takes into account that the average durability of a vaccine is 6 months, as reported months ago by the World Health Organization (WHO).
