This Thursday morning, the president of the Medical College, Izkia Siches, requested “sobriety and seriousness” from the Government, added to the fact that it does not farandulize the start of vaccination against covid-19.

Furthermore, he asked that La Moneda, in its communication strategy, make it clear that this it is an incipient stage of the immunization program, before the possible relaxation of sanitary measures that the news could generate in the citizenship.

“We have asked that this process be sober and convey to the public that we are starting from a very incipient stage, there are 10 thousand doses to reach 5 thousand people and the goals are much more important that one, ”Siches told Radio Universo.

“For no reason these vaccines can mean a relaxation on the part of the citizens. If not, unfortunately, we are going to have one or two important increases in cases in January or in the fall and that is counterproductive, “he added.

“Hopefully the Government will channel the communication strategy to something that is taken with the seriousness that is required and also do not show off this process “, said the leader of the doctors.

In contact, Siches stated that as a guild they hope that other vaccines different from Pfizer / BioNTech, with less complex transport and storage conditions, promptly receive the green light.

“If we can pass the approval of Sinovac and AstraZeneca we think it will be easier and with Sinovac the agreement exceeds 20 million doses, “he said.

The vaccination will start this same day in the Metropolitan Hospital of Santiago, as far as the president Sebastián Piñera and the Minister of Health, Enrique Paris will go.

At the end of this edition, the vaccines had already left the storage center located in Rodrigo de Araya, from where they were escorted by police personnel. At 11:06 a.m. they were already inside the health center, where about 300 workers signed up voluntarily to be inoculated.
