Overview
- The Ministry of Health has made a public, real-time Mapa de Coberturas y Distribución de Vacunas that combines nominal coverage records from Nomivac SISA with stock and shipment data from the SMIS system.
- Coverage figures on the dashboard update weekly and distribution data update monthly, and the tool initially displays data for 2025 and the current year for all 16 vaccines in the National Immunization Calendar.
- The dashboard includes residual stock and a loss or wastage factor and relies on interoperable provincial systems, which can create reporting lags and apparent discrepancies between jurisdictions.
- The Ministry says five tracer vaccines passed 90% coverage for 2025 but WHO and UNICEF reported Argentina was among regional countries that did not reach 90%, creating a contested picture of national performance.
- Officials plan a nationwide survey to be analyzed with AI and a future personalized reminder app to boost uptake, and they intend to use the dashboard in operational meetings to target gaps such as low coverage in children aged 5–11 and remote communities.
