Buenos Aires, Nov 27 (NA) – Health Minister Mario Lugone stated that “vaccines prevent serious diseases,” just hours before a session scheduled for tomorrow in the Chamber of Deputies of the Nation, which aimed to bring together anti-vaccine speeches under the slogan “What do COVID-19 vaccines really contain?”. According to the Argentine News Agency, PRO deputy Marilú Quiróz was the organizer of the forum, for which various health organizations spoke out against it, stating that it would give a platform to denialist speeches. In this context, Lugone affirmed that “the National Vaccination Calendar contains vaccines that are based on scientific evidence and decades of safe use” and added: “Every vaccine included has gone through rigorous evaluations that guarantee its quality and effectiveness.” “The Ministry of Health of the Nation distributes all the vaccines in the Calendar and has implemented tools such as the Monitoring Dashboard to strengthen coverage. Vaccination is the task of each jurisdiction, the commitment is shared: protecting children is everyone's responsibility,” concluded the official.
