As part of the week that has come, the Department of Health and the entourage of support may begin to immunize new groups of people, in particular if the use of the vacancy by Johnson & Johnson is approved, in addition to the agency’s designated secretary, Carlos Mellado.
As soon as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves the use of this vaccine, Puerto Rico will receive 28,000 doses that will be used to start the new vaccination phase, Mellado confirmed, at a press conference. The four, a panel of United States health assessors responded to the vacancy of a single dose of Johnson & Johnson against covid-19.
The governor continues the vacancy of major adults for 65 years, as well as masters and first responders. The expectation is that as early as the week when the new vaccine is received and the third phase is underway, which will include mayors of 55 years, people with comorbid illnesses and workers in the food and supermarket industry.
Cabe records that the food sales sector was not prepared until the state of emergency was declared due to the pandemic, and the preparation sites – which he has adjusted to the operating hours and the manner in which services are provided – no. estuvieron included in the first stage of evacuation.
To enter the new phase, the Secretary of State explained that he would like to amend the administrative order that will be vacated with priority to the mayors of 65 years.
Salud informs the centers that are vacant in the nearest days to the people who hiccup. The agency coordinates with the Voices, the College of Engineers and the Rotary Clubs. For example, he is living next to the people who live in San Sebastián, Arecibo, Manatí, Isabela, Mayagüez, Fajardo, San Juan and Bayamón, among others.
Contrary to Pfizer and Modern vacancies — which require low temperature and dose congestion for each person — the Johnson & Johnson vacancy does not require extreme refrigeration and is administered in a single dose.
“A single dose allows us to make massive vacancies. There are 28,000 vacancies in different centers and we are now defining the population we are vacating, ”said Mellado. “We will go to another stage with this vacancy and what we tend to do is quiz more time in the day before you can vacate more people and log this access,” he said.
In addition to continuing the vacancy strategy for over 65 years or more with Pfizer and Modern, “quizzes will take place in another phase with patients with comorbidities, such as multiple sclerosis”, among others.
It is claimed that no indication has been given of the receipt of this 28,000 dose cargo — in addition to the FDA’s vacancy – the Isla continues to receive the same amount of pharmaceuticals as it does in Pfizer and Modern.
A single dose
Doctor Iris Cardona, who directs the Health Department’s Vacation Program, explained that Johnson & Johnson’s vacancy uses a different technology to the vacancies of Pfizer and Modern, and ensures that it is effective, especially in avoiding pregnancy, hospitalization and death by covid-19.
“The Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) vaccine has the same instructions as the Pfizer and Modern vaccine, but it uses a virus as a vector that has instructions for coding. No one is going to cause infection. It is an adenovirus of the families of viruses that cause cataracts, ”explains. Once a vaccine has been administered, the virus disappears, following instructions for the production of a segment of the protein and the body reacts with an immunological response that produces antibodies that neutralize the virus. Science is very important, but technology is different ”, he added.
This vaccine, signaled, has 72% efficacy in preventing moderate or severe poisoning in the coint-19 scentology and 80% in efficacy in preventing severe or death. In the study, added, no hospitalization or death was reported.
Lilliam Rodríguez, founder of Voces, said that in the coalition “we are giving resources to help people in the event that the vacancy is most accelerated”. It was stated that “the covid-19 has come to record the importance of the evacuation, the importance of maintaining a contagious behavior that paralyzes the world”.
Refieren the case
Mellado reiteró that the Centers for the Control and Prevention of Injuries (CDC in English) will be investigating the incident with the vehicles of the Walgreens pharmacy chain that appeared in Morovis.
“Walgreens Pharmacy has our ally, but our responsibility lies with the management of the covid-19 vaccine that is destined for our people. The Department of Health has what it takes. If the investigation is carried out in 24 hours and we are reinstated by the CDC because the pharmacy has a direct contract with the CDC and is being re-examined before it can be investigated, ”the official said during the press conference held.
Afirmó que, ‘n su entender, elejo por part de la pharmacie no fue el adequuado.
“Certainly the maneuver does not comply with the adequacy and therefore the subdivision that accredits the health care facilities is under investigation. They (Walgreens) have a direct contract with the CDC and they determine the manejo. From the point of view of Salud’s point of view, it is clear that I have bad manners and that is why we are referring, ”he said.
Lynnette Teissonniere, spokeswoman for Walgreens’ pharmacy chain, said he had not received the information from Salud or the referendum.
“We will not respond to the request for comment from the Department of Health. We will receive the information as soon as possible, we will say, ”he said.
Incident reports of the incident, Eileen Ortega, director of operations at Walgreens, point out that while moving modern vehicles to a prolonged emergency center in Morovis, a hospital “which has no security deposit, vehicle cage”.
“We are very pleased with the person who met the healer and alerted the local police,” he said. “We will investigate the matter and review our procedures with the team so that it does not fail,” he said.
