President Iván Duque affirmed in a statement that “we will be closing the contracts in the coming days,” referring to the vaccines that arrive in the country. However, the presidential press team says there was “confusion” in what he meant.
It was President Duque who told it, but also affirmed that the agreements will be closed in the next few days.
“We will be closing the contracts in the next few days,” he said in a video.
For their part, from the government press headquarters, they told PUBLIMETER that “there was a confusion” with what the president said.
According to his version, he has already signed several vaccines and was referring to signing “new” doses of vaccines.
“Today we have 29 million doses guaranteed. We have 20 million doses with Covax, for 10 million people; 10 million with Pfizer and 10 with Aztrazéneca, for 10 million people and 9 million doses of Janssen for 9 million people. “he added.
With this scenario, it is known that there is no specific date to start vaccination. According to the Government, it begins in February.
In addition, he affirmed that it is necessary for the United States to be a key player in joining the Covax vaccine initiative so that the most vulnerable countries do not lag behind in vaccination.
Colombia has not signed contracts with pharmaceutical companies for the covid-19 vaccine and confirmed it in this video:
