History of the Covid-19 Vaccination Plan in Chile

Seeker

On May 18, 2021, the Ministry of Health (MINSAL) reported that there were a total of 9,193,426 people vaccinated with the first dose and 7,536,633 with the second dose.

So the moment level included the general population of ethnic groups, who would tend to have vaccines approved at that time in the country.

El calendario de vacunación de esta semana desde el 17 al 20 de mayo contempla la primera dosis para las personas de 33 a 30 años y la segunda dosis para los vacunados entre el 19 y 25 de abril. Además, se agrega la vacunación de las embarazadas a partir de la semana 16 de gestación y los rezagados crónicos entre 25 y 29 años.

Considerando lo antes expuesto y las aperturas que se han comenzado a vislumbrar en determinados países, hemos considerado necesario evaluar cuál es la realidad de cada uno de los miembros de nuestra institución respecto a la inmunización contra el SARS-CoV-2. El objetivo de esto ha sido buscar siempre la posibilidad de que todos ejerzamos  nuestra labor con el mayor grado de seguridad posible, entendiendo que estar vacunado es un factor de protección personal, así como para el resto de nuestra comunidad.

Guided by this motivation, we invite you to attend to the request that was generated through the COVID-19 Operating Committee of the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Chile (FOUCH) with the conviction that this is an issue applicable to each and every one. . We are aware that we are vaccinated with one or two doses, with what is vaccinated and at that moment, but it is data that can help us in long-term scenarios. Because the vaccination schedule is already in full development, the request will be sent each and every day to all other people who do not have registered data or who are for a single dose, so that they can start or complete your vaccination process. Possibility of sending this data.

All this knowledge will be treated with absolute confidentiality, respecting the rights of other people who are not vaccinated or who have some contraindication, since in our country the health authority has decided that it is ‘a lax and voluntary procedure for each one’. and every senior citizen over 16 years of age for the Pfizer BioNTech vaccine is already 18 years of age for other vaccines that are in use at that time, such as the CanSino which is legal through the Institute of Public Health (ISP) in April of this year, which is administered directly. It is vital to note that fitness staff and alumni who are the subject of clinical care should obtain daily hepatitis B and influenza vaccinations.

The latest data from the MINSAL that updates the data from the effectiveness study of the CoronaVac vaccine from the Sinovac laboratory, most widely used in our country, reported the following effects in 4. 2 million people after 14 days of receiving the inoculation. .

These effects lead us to real knowledge of our population, which means that the new variants circulating in the country will have to be respected, therefore, the vaccines had a sufficiently good result. We can affirm that the vaccines are perceived to reduce the cases, and that other people who, due to their vaccination, are opposed to the COVID-19 disease, reduce the symptoms, the option of being hospitalized, as well as the ICU admission and the option of a fall.

Según antecedentes internacionales, las otras dos vacunas autorizadas y utilizadas hasta este momento en el país, es decir la del laboratorio Pfizer-BioNTech y la de AstraZeneca junto a la Universidad de Oxford, denominada AZD1222,  han demostrado buenos resultados en los países que han sido más utilizadas. Esperamos que en un futuro cercano podamos tener datos que nos permitan realizar una comparación nacional entre todas, por ahora, creo que una buena conclusión es que la mejor vacuna es la que cada uno tiene a disposición en el momento que le corresponde vacunarse.

Regardless of the positive effects received from the vaccination process, it must be noted that the health authority has not issued several mandates on fundamental self-care measures, such as: hand hygiene, use of a mask and physical distance, therefore that only one municipality or establishment may modify these parameters.

Today, the invitation for both of us to assume our roles in FOUCH, in order to maintain a collaborative and autonomous spirit with our entire community, first includes both of us with the criteria that have been established in the implemented protocols and who then train them. Supervisory role of one and of time. The spaces and processes in which we will have to participate is with the conviction that our protection depends on the protection of who we are.

Desde el Comité Operativo COVID-19 FOUCH debemos continuar evaluando permanentemente la normativa, el estado diario de salud de nuestra comunidad y los riesgos en los diferentes espacio físicos

COVID-19 protection and immunity are mandatory for all of us to paint together, as well as protect our family, friends, and community. Without a doubt, we can all have an office and a studio.
