In a ceremony held on Friday night (18), the Electoral Justice certified those elected in the municipal elections that took place on November 15 and 29. The Regional Electoral Tribunal (TRE) of Minas Gerais certified the victory of the elected mayor, federal deputy Margarida Salomão (PT), and also of the deputy mayor, today councilor Kennedy Ribeiro (PV).

During the event, Margarida affirmed that she has an agreement with the Butantan Institute for the acquisition of one million doses of the coronavirus vaccine developed by the institute. “I want to take this opportunity to make an announcement that expresses our commitment to the people of Juiz de Fora. Yesterday (Thursday) we drafted, as mayor-elect and representing the municipality of Juiz de Fora, a memorandum of understanding with the Butantan Foundation for the supply of one million vaccines from January 2021 ”.

The mayor-elect pointed out that “the first purpose is to honor and adhere to the national vaccination program.” “But, faced with any delay or difficulty on the part of this program, we have already prepared an alternative, whose technical and logistical feasibility will still be announced by our Secretary of Health (Ana Pimentel), said the mayor.

Margarida thanked former deputy Marcus Pestana, who, according to her, was in charge of mediating the conversations with Butantan.

After her diploma, Margarida made a live on her social networks in which she detailed the announcement about the agreement signed with Butantan. “Yesterday we signed this memorandum of understanding between the Municipality of Juiz de Fora and the Butantan Institute to guarantee, in January 2021, the supply of one million vaccines. These vaccines will be available and applied within our immunization plan, which is being developed by our Secretary of Health, Ana Pimentel ”.

The mayor-elect even showed the memorandum signed with the institute and reportedly read excerpts from the document. “The opportunity and convenience of Butantan to supply one million doses of finished product of the Covid-19 vaccine in multi-dose vials, of ten doses per bottle, to the Municipality of Juiz de Fora for its distribution in the geographical space of that Municipality is agreed , given the local population. This amount is available from January 2021, ”he said.

The PT said that the vaccine appears as a light at the end of the tunnel at a time of concern about the increase in rates in the city. “At this moment, the pandemic in Juiz de Fora presents alarming figures. Both the incidence and the number of deaths. At the same time, we understand that people are tired and suffering the effects of a serious economic crisis, which has been exacerbated by the pandemic. With all this, vaccination is a great hope ”.

Given the urgency of the scenario, the future mayor noted that she and her team could not “just be inert.” “As soon as we take over, we will take appropriate actions to make this a beautiful reality.” However, the mayor said that she defends SUS and hopes that the national vaccination plan will, in fact, be put into practice. Thus, the agreement signed with Butantan would remain as plan B. “I hope that the SUS can serve everyone. But if you experience delays or difficulties, we already have an alternative. “
