Overview
- Police, executing six raids Thursday in Las Heras and Lavalle, seized more than 160 vaccination certificates along with official seals, computers, phones and storage devices.
- Investigators say health staff logged shots in SISA, the national vaccination database, without injecting patients, which let unvaccinated people appear compliant to keep benefits or avoid penalties.
- A San Rafael physician spotted record mismatches in SISA and filed a complaint, triggering a Health Ministry review and administrative measures on staff before the case moved to prosecutors.
- New leads point to a WhatsApp channel that used the code “Plan V,” where parents allegedly paid about ARS 160,000 per false certificate and an extra ARS 60,000 for required child doses.
- Prosecutor Juan Manuel Ticheli is assessing evidence for possible bribery and health offenses, with no one charged yet and the fate of the unused doses still under investigation.
