Reckless Rush to Reopen Threatens Chile’s Exemplary Vaccination Strategy
Easing restrictions without clear risk communication undercuts some of the country’s hard-won progress in fighting the pandemic
/.../“We started relaxing lockdowns and social distancing measures before we had a significant percentage of the population effectively immunized against COVID-19,” says Juan Carlos Said, an internal medicine specialist at the Sótero del Río Care Complex in Santiago, Chile. “Now we are in a situation where, even though we have vaccinated a lot of people, we still do not have the pandemic under control.”https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/reckless-rush-to-reopen-threatens-chiles-exemplary-vaccination-strategy/

Of the vaccines administered, 85 percent were CoronaVac, and most Chileans did not understand that they would not have a strong immune response until two weeks after the second dose, Undurraga says. By early 2020 the majority of Chileans had only received one dose rather than two, and they may have been transmitting the coronavirus unknowingly or even getting sick themselves.

“[The Chilean government] did a good job in buying vaccines, but they lacked the confidence to keep doing the public health measures that were needed to stop the circulation of the virus,” Said says. “The key message here is that you cannot focus your strategy only on one thing. There’s only one way to do things properly but many different ways to fail.”
