For a couple of weeks, representatives of the private companies of Colombia and the National Government were meeting in order to reach agreements so that the country’s businessmen can buy vaccines and apply them to their employees.
The five dialogue tables seem to have been successful and the draft with which they will establish the guidelines would be ready so that more people can access the COVID-19 vaccine.
In an interview with Noticias Caracol, Víctor Muñoz, the director of the Administrative Department of the Presidency of the Republic (DAPRE), He said that some of the conditions that were established in those meetings.
“They can only really be applied to employees and employees’ families.. At no time is any type of commercialization being considered because vaccines are free and the National Government has made an effort to guarantee it to Colombians, “he said.
There he also told that they will only be able to acquire the vaccines that are authorized by Invima. AstraZeneca, Jhonshon & Jhonson, Pfizer and Sinovac are the ones that are allowed so far.
Dapre’s director also commented some of the conditions that were established in these meetings with businessmen, although the complete document is not known and there could be more.
- You have to negotiate with the pharmaceutical companies
- Negotiate availability with pharmaceutical companies
- Have a mechanism for the application of vaccines
- Only the IPS can put them
These are some of the first decisions that were made, but It is expected that next Monday this decision will begin to be socialized and the draft of this initiative is published so that there is a debate and opinions that enrich it.
