| Lima, Jan. 28.
The
General Directorate for Medicines, Input and Drugs (Digemid) attached to the Ministry of Health (Minsa)
granted authorization to the vaccines against COVID-19 developed by Chinese pharmaceutical company Sinopharm, the sector's head
Pilar Mazzetti
has reported.
Thus, the authorization granted last Tuesday allows those vaccines to enter the South American country soon.
Dr. Mazzetti indicated that on Wednesday
representatives of the company hired to transport the vaccines
were holding meetings with counterparts from the Chinese laboratory to finalize details for the shipment of the
initial one million doses purchased by Peru.
Likewise, the
Cabinet member said that immunization is projected to begin in the early days of February.
Furthermore, the
government official ruled out that the targeted lockdown —which will be in force from January 31 to February 14—
could harm the vaccination of health personnel, who will be the first to receive these doses.
As is known, Peru purchased one million vaccines from Sinopharm and sent the company a second contract for the
acquisition of 500,000 doses that will arrive in February, plus another 1.5 million in March.
The minister pointed out that Peru is also holding negotiations with the
pharmaceutical companies Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson, and Gamaleya
to obtain a greater amount of vaccines.
