Thank you. And please, no more "Why did you delete this but not that?" My mind works in mysterious ways that not even I can comprehend at times.Everybody got a chance to throw out their opinions.
Can't argue that.
The Sputnik V vaccine is the best candidate for the DR. Or at least until we are able to secure some of those produced, as they are getting orders in the millions and not enough production to be expanded in the horizon.

I see you really do like this vaccine. Might you take a trip to Russia to get it?
Does not look like the DR is going with the Sputnik V doses.
Total and complete isolation for 21 days everywhere in the world would help. For a while, And then the virus would ramp up again. Rinse and repeat.
It only took one case to get the world to where it is today. Now there are cases just about everywhere in the world.
The only hope of change based upon how governments are treating this is that enough people get vaccinated in some "scientifically valid yet arbitrary number" so governments relax the restrictions. Maybe that will happen by 2022.
Just where are those vaccines that are supposed to be in the DR already (which I doubt very much is true).
President Abinader has just announced the Quedate en Casa program and the Fase I will be extended to April:

At risk of being off topic.
I got mine.
Pfizer version, first of two, second in 21 days.
Easy peazy, tiny 22 gauge needle, never felt it, no sore arm, nothing.
Following shot they ask you to sit and hang for 15 to 30 min in case anyone has a reaction. Nurse said she has seen none.
First shot of the Pfizer duo reported to give 50% immunity.
Nice to no longer be concerned about catching the virus or worse, giving it to others and seeing them sick.
Hope the DR gets the AZ vaccine out asap so this nightmare ends.
I hope that Abinader can secure doses for all Dominicans, maybe the low pop. 10 mil. will help.
To cover everyone, the government will have to carry the cost as many won't be able to afford to pay for it.
Another DR problem is vaccinations for Haiti, as there is massive unregulated ingress of Haitians to the DR.
The arrivals from the US including many DR citizens is another question mark in regard to the spread of CV19 in the DR.

We don’t need to vaccinate 10 million people
Only those 30 yo and older.
The fatality rate in those under 30 is extremely minimal.
More than half of the population is under 30 here.
We can do much better than other places with the correct vaccination 💉 campaign.

As for production, is a matter of getting enough pharmaceutical manufacturers the approval to start the manufacturing and sales process.
Politics as usual

Finally!
They contacted Sputnik V Russian holder to negotiate a batch!
Let’s hope we can secured a manufacturer for the formula after negotiations.
If only our local pharmaceuticals were to par with the technology required!!!!

What will be interesting to report is what percentage of front line health care workers in DR refuse to be vaccinated once whatever vaccines are widely distributed throughout the island.
It will vary by locale and hospital or clinic.
But based on US reporting it is as low as 10 % up to 50 % of Healthcare professionals are refusing the vaccine. Does that bode well for the general populace unless it becomes mandated?

Some healthcare workers refuse to take COVID-19 vaccine, even with priority access
Doubts about the vaccine among healthcare workers could have serious implications for public health, say experts.

We have a solid track record when it comes to vaccination campaigns in the DR. Rejections are minimal historically.
So why only 10 million doses to vaccinate 5 million people were purchased? That's less than half of the DR population.
