General Pazuello, who was introduced to Brazil as a “logistics expert”, became a joke for not being able to buy syringes edit
Sputnik – The Ministry of Health failed in its attempt to buy syringes for vaccination against COVID-19 in Brazil. The agreement signed on Tuesday (29) guarantees less than 3% of what is necessary to vaccinate the population.
According to information from the State of São Paulo, of the 331 million units planned, the government was only able to supply 7.9 million units, a figure that corresponds to around 2.4% of the total units that the portfolio wanted to acquire. This was only Eduardo Pazuello’s first attempt to buy syringes and needles for vaccination in Brazil.
However, he was not criticized on social media by opposition parliamentarians, who criticized the delay in finding syringes, while other countries are carrying out vaccination plans.
In this way, the Ministry of Health will hold another event, which has not yet been defined. Needles are generally purchased by states and municipalities. However, during the pandemic, the ministry decided to centralize these supplies. The Ministry of Health’s forecast is to start vaccination against COVID-19 in the country in February.
Immunization of the Brazilian population, however, still depends on a vaccine to obtain approval from the National Sanitary Surveillance Agency (Anvisa). It is estimated that 108 million doses are applied in the first semester. In addition to vaccination against the coronavirus, syringes and needles purchased by the Ministry of Health would be used for the measles vaccination campaign.
In the negotiation session on Tuesday (29), the ministry was looking for offers for different types of syringes and needles. Of the four items searched by the portfolio, three did not have valid proposals.
In these cases, the prices offered may have exceeded the values established by the ministry or the companies did not present the necessary documentation. The fourth article had a valid offer only for a part of the offer.
