In the last 14 days, Argentina doubled the pace of the vaccination campaign against the coronavirus, in this sense, it went from a daily average of 150,000 applications to almost 300,000, which managed to reach that 28% of the country’s population has received at least the first dose of the immunizer. The physicist and researcher of conicet, Jorge Aliaga, highlighted: “To analyze the growth of the rate of vaccination that the country is having a possible variable is to take the daily average of the last 14 days and compare with the previous 14 days”, and added that “on Thursday, June 10, the average of the last 14 days was 289,535 daily application reports , whereas if you look at May 28, the average for the last 14 days of that date was 146,005 daily doses, or exactly half.”
So far, the weekly record was last week with almost two million applications, while last June 4 was the day on which more vaccines were placed with 375,904. There are also several ways to determine the calculations and if you take an average of daily applications between Saturday, May 15 and Friday, May 28, the result is 133,404 daily doses; while the following 14 days it was 280,191 daily doses, which implies a growth of 110%. For his part, the data analyst, Santiago Olszevicki, explained: “As of June 12, Argentina reached 28.38 percent of the population with at least one dose, while 7.10 percent completed their vaccination schedule,” and molecular biologist, immunologist and biotechnologist Ernesto Resnik said: “This percentage of people vaccinated with at least one dose places Argentina among the first middle-income and best-income countries. than many high-income like Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan, Oman or Panama.” In Latin America, Argentina ranks third, after Chile (59.72 percent) and Uruguay (58.73 percent).
