La Organización Panamericana de la Salud (OPS) informó este miércoles de que apenas el 37 % de las personas en América Latina y el Caribe han sido vacunadas completamente contra la COVID-19, y que países como Jamaica, Nicaragua y Haití no han alcanzado siquiera el 10 % de cobertura.
«Seguimos instando a los países con dosis excedentes a que las compartan con los países de nuestra región, donde pueden tener un impacto que salve vidas», afirmó la directora de la OPS, Carissa Etienne, en la conferencia semanal del organismo.
Según la OPS, durante la última semana se reportaron alrededor de 1,2 millones de nuevos casos de la COVID-19 en América y 24 mil muertes relacionadas con el virus, según reseña EFE.
Etienne apuntó que la semana pasada los países de América Latina y el Caribe recibieron 875 mildosis de vacunas contra el coronavirus, que consideró que «no son suficientes para proteger a todos».
De allí que confirmó que la OPS cerró acuerdos con tres productores de vacunas: los laboratorios chinos Sinovac y Sinopharm, así como con la empresa farmacéutica londinense AstraZeneca para comercializar las dosis a través del fondo rotatorio que durante más de 40 años ha surtido de vacunas a la región.
«Tenemos vacunas de Sinovac y AstraZeneca disponibles este año y tendremos vacunas de los tres productores en 2022», agregó la funcionaria, en publicación de EFE.
Por su parte, el subdirector de la OPS, Jarbas Barbosa, se refirió durante la conferencia de prensa virtual a los retrasos sufridos en las entregas de vacunas a través de Covax, el mecanismo apoyado por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) para propiciar la distribución equitativa de los fármacos contra la COVID-19.
Barbosa mencionó entre las «muchas» razones el hecho de que los productores «no están priorizando el envío para el mecanismo Covax», sino los acuerdos bilaterales que han alcanzado, ya que bajo estos convenios las vacunas «son más caras».
Además, el funcionario indicó que unos 500 millones de dosis están pendientes de entrega debido a la pausa de las exportaciones del Instituto Serum de la India (SII), el mayor fabricante de vacunas del mundo, que se ha concentrado en la inmunización de la población de ese país.
