Overview
- The Health Ministry, led by Mario Lugones, issued a coordinated communiqué with CABA and 22 provinces defending the safety and effectiveness of all calendar vaccines.
- Buenos Aires Province and Formosa did not appear among the signatories, and Buenos Aires health minister Nicolás Kreplak said the province was not invited and flagged delayed deliveries from the national government.
- The document stresses that vaccines on the schedule have decades of safe use, undergo rigorous pre‑inclusion evaluations, and remain under ongoing quality and safety monitoring.
- Authorities announced the incorporation of three new vaccines into the National Vaccination Calendar, reaffirming free and timely access as a federal commitment.
- The move follows a controversial congressional event featuring alleged vaccine harms and comes alongside warnings from scientific societies and concerns over falling coverage, recent measles cases in CABA, and rising pertussis circulation.
