The President of the People’s Force, Leonel Fernández, on Tuesday demanded an explanation from the Dominican government on what will consist of the National Vaccination Plan against the coronavirus (Covid-19), which will be implemented in the country once the vaccinations
“We believe that there is a need for the government to speak up and make it clear to the population that makes up the national vaccination plan and that there should also be a training program for the staff who move forward and a communication campaign to the Dominican population to know whose turn it is first and where it will happen, ”said Fernández.
That’s what the vice president of the Republic and director of the public health cabinet Raquel Peña had said last week The process of socializing the coronavirus vaccination plan was to begin, but no information was ever given about it.
“Until now, no one knows about the existence of a national vaccination plan and we are concerned that in the countries where there is a national vaccination plan they have failed in terms of vaccination. Countries like England, Spain, France have not applied the vaccines, only Israel is successful in that, ”exclaimed the three-time president of the republic.
The Dominican government plans to receive 20 million doses to vaccinate against the coronavirus through various agreements with various pharmaceutical companies. The country expects 10 million doses of AstraZeneca, 8 million with Pfizer-BioNTech and 2 million with Covax.
The first doses of the Pfizer vaccine were said to arrive in the month of January, according to statements by President of the Republic of the Republic of Luis Abinader, but the vaccines have not arrived and the authorities have not yet offered a version in this regard.
