The Secretary of Health, Carlos Mellado, ensures that Puerto Rico is one of the jurisdictions of the United States that is more efficiently administering the vacancies against the Covid-19, to the extent that it has distributed more than 80% of the doses it has received. However, it has already been confirmed that a 200 vacancies will be lost.
According to the information received by the official, in the island he distributed to the 221,426 holiday centers about 270,050 vacancies he received. Hasta ayer, has the registration of the 136,682 vacancies, a mayor of the las que reporta el portal del Center for Control of Infection Prevention (CDC), which indicates that in Puerto Rico apenas is used 104,137 of the 311,325 that it is “distributed”.
“You have conversations with HHS (Federal Health Department) and the people of the CDC and establish that Puerto Rico is one of the first places, territories where there are no vacancies. What we need to do is read the jewels for the second dose of the first phase. Analyze the never of the National Guard no hay vacunas ”, said Mellado at the press conference.
Compared to data from the CDC and those taken separately from the territories, a redistribution of the Bloomberg media in Puerto Rico as the jurisdiction with the highest percentage of administrative vacancies, only by state states such as Carolina del Norta, Hawái and Alabama , as well as the territories of the Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Palau, the Virgin Islands, Micronesia and the Marshall Islands. In the mid-term review, the data corresponding to Puerto Rico are the same as those appearing on the CDC’s portal.
At the moment, the Department of Health check a ‘dashboard’ giving the details of the evacuation process.
According to Bloomberg, North Dakota, the state has most efficiently managed its vacancies, using 77.1% of those assigned. In the case of Puerto Rico, the figure is 50.6%, depending on the numbers provided by Mellado.
Mellado said that the 50,000 vacancies that have not been distributed in Puerto Rico are mainly assigned to the second dose of people to receive the first and final results of December.
In the past weeks, as Mellado as José Reyes, jefe de la Guardia Nacional, han recalcado que el CDC reporta datos con retraso. Asimismo, Mellado states that the number of vacancies that the CDC informs as “distributed” for each jurisdiction includes dose that todavía no han llegado.
The Secretary of Health submits that the possibility that Puerto Rico is known as the rehabilitation facility – for which it is necessary to evacuate at least 70% of the population – in close proximity, depends on the daily dose of the CDC asigne. In this sense, he alluded to the promise of the President-elect, Joe Biden, to dramatically liberalize the flow of vacancies, hoping that in early February the number of vacancies distributed would significantly exceed the estimated 40,000 that are available. Of these, 40,000, 11,000 are destined for Walgreens and CVS pharmacies, which are majoring in the evacuation of major adults in extended care centers.
The ex epidemiologist of the State Ángeles Rodríguez, without embarrassment, he will show concern over the risks that the Biden administration’s flexibility plan may have, in particular in relation to the possibility of not having enough sufficiency to apply the second dose required by a person to be vaccinated de Moderna.
“For me it is a disparate. I would like to think that some juices will recommend with time not to do so. The scientific evidence of these vacancies demonstrates that its success protects 94% or 95% of vacancies depending on the ‘booster’ (second dose). If we do not have this second ‘booster’ we will lose the first. After a while the person did not have sufficient protection. It’s an initiative that is going to fail. I hope that (the new federal administration) will not do it, and that it will do so, as the evacuation depends on the states, that Puerto Rico does not do it, ”said the infectious disease specialist.
The second dose of Pfizer vaccine should be administered in the 21 days of the first, while in the case of Modern the interval is 28 days.
Complicated regression to present classes
Rodríguez, asimismo, hizo un llamado to “take over” the aspiration to recapture the schools gradually from March, as the governor has expressed Pedro Pierluisi.
“Probably all the decisions that are based on securing a security, between comrades, to be able to avoid the contagios in the halls, I believe they should be taken care of. We are at a time when it is probably critical. There is a circus going on that is extremely aggressive in terms of its transmission. If we do not want to collapse the health care system, then we will have to strictly adhere to the recommendations to avoid transmission, ”said Rodríguez, who considered the governor to have worked properly during the initial evacuation phase.
According to Mellado, the process of vacating the teaching staff and the teaching staff of public and private schools, which begins this week, will be extended between “six and eight weeks”, which will finalize between principles and mediators of March.
The process of masters and teachers, of which 55,000, between public and private, are linked to no (being retrieved by the slow flight of vacancies). The detail will be in the number of people, the numbered employees who will access the window. The plan of the opening of the classes depends on many factors. What we always want to establish is a punctual meta. If we have nothing like meta, we can never do anything about it, and (the regression in the schools) depends on many factors and how much we love the Covid at the moment, ”said Mellado.
For another lady, Mellado said she lost 200 doses of Moderna in an evacuation center part of a cartridge in Puerto Rico. The secretary did not specify which evacuation center was responsible for the incident, but rather signaled that it was a lie that “a very good job is needed”. Mellado is not available to attend the Metro shows, to manage daylight hours.
“The suicidal idea is that the person who received the cage from the living room lived as very well. This is why he introduced the caja dentro de la nevera. When the CDC is consulted, we strongly recommend that we do not use the vaccine. Debo declares that it is the only incident that Puerto Rico has. There is a state that has reached 2,500 doses, ”said Mellado at a conference of the Secretariat of the Governorate of Fortaleza.
“It’s something that can be successful and suicidal. The manner of this evacuation is extremely complicated. Including when it comes to the second dose has to be managed in a different way ”, added.
