Vaccines for legal residents? Maybe not...

[rubio_higuey]

The VP said the vaccination program will be based at electorate register.

Legal residents, while they have cédula, do not form part of Electorate Register.

This would imply the country would not vaccinate legal residents.

El plan de vacunación contra el coronavirus estará basado en el padrón electoral

Santo Domingo.- El Gabinete de Salud iniciará la semana próxima el proceso de socialización del plan de vacunación que desarrollará el paí.

Completely stupid...and will bite them in ass....they said they expect WHO to vaccinate illegals eventually...but that leaves out legal residents expats non citizen...good thing you can buy about anything down here..

Yes, that's just plain wrong and for those who don't have residency it will give them another reason for not getting it. I should think that if it is possible to buy it, it will be VERY expensive!

I think it is too soon to conclude that

Its Cost is less then 3 bucks a dose.... Dominican government borrowed 50 million for vaccine purchase ..

Yes, it is still a bit premature. The JCE issues the Cedulas for both citizens and legal residents. If it really requires a citizen's cedula (one with the proper color and without NO VOTA on it) and they refuse legal residents who want a vaccine, I agree that is a bad decision. We will see. I was recently surprised to find out SENASA basic insurance was only available for citizens and not legal residents/

I hope that Dolores will investigate this. She is the closest thing to a spokesperson for the permanent residents that there is

The DR1 legal time should be able to answer this in.. well, maybe they can.

Yes, but I think the famous "gringo price" may operate here. We'll see. I suppose it should be cheaper than going back to England for the jabs anyway!
