Talk:COVID-19 vaccination in Colombia

Vaccines on order

I am not sure how the table for Vaccines on Order is intended to be updated. Currently, it says that 2.5 million Sinovac doses and 10 million Covax doses are ordered. Per this recent news report, those numbers have increased to 7.5 million and 20 million respectively. ("Para finales de marzo, Colombia espera contar con más de tres millones de las 66,5 millones de dosis negociadas en los acuerdos firmados. En total, el país recibirá 10 millones de dosis de la vacuna de Pfizer; 10 millones de la de AstraZeneca; 9 millones de la de Janssen; 7,5 millones de la de Sinovac y 10 millones de la de Moderna, además de las 20 millones adquiridas por el mecanismo multilateral Covax.") The Wiki table formatting isn't clear about how to handle updates given that there are multiple ongoing orders. Furthermore, I am confused that the first column is labeled "Vaccine" and one of the entries is "Covax"; my understanding is that Covax is not a type of vaccine nor a brand name, but a global system or organization, kind of like a trade agreement, through which vaccines are distributed to nations when the nations don't purchase directly from the pharmaceutical company. - Tuckerlieberman (talk) 02:09, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

I noticed someone updated the table. Thank you. Covax is split out into a separate table now. That is helpful. - Tuckerlieberman (talk) 14:04, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

Table for vaccine eligibility

In the "phases and stages" table, there's a column called "population covered," i.e. the estimated number of people who will be eligible in each stage. The eligibility rules changed this week. Therefore, the "population covered" should also change. People in their 50s without comorbidities will be eligible earlier, in Stage 3 rather than in Stage 5. Logically, the Stage 3 "population covered" should increase, and the Stage 5 "population covered" should decrease.

However, the government has not yet updated their website. https://www.minsalud.gov.co/salud/publica/Vacunacion/Paginas/Vacunacion-covid-19.aspx So, as of right now, I don't have the revised numbers and I haven't updated them in the Wiki table. They should be updated eventually, when someone finds the new numbers. - Tuckerlieberman (talk) 23:01, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

For now, I replaced the numbers in the table with "TBD" so they won't be wrong meanwhile and so we won't forget to update them later. - Tuckerlieberman (talk) 13:13, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

ÑÑÑ Could we please get clarification on the term "received by"? In English, this can be fairly construed to mean that the vaccine was injected into the recipient. Thanks. - Joshua Clement Broyles ÑÑÑ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.27.88.148 (talk) 21:36, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
