MARTINEZ FRANZONI, Juliana  and  SANCHEZ-ANCOCHEA, Diego. Post pandemic lost opportunities: Transfers and vaccination in El Salvador. Rev. Mex. Sociol [online]. 2023, vol.85, n.spe, pp.103-135.  Epub Feb 24, 2023. ISSN 2594-0651.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iis.01882503p.2023.0.60451.

This article investigates whether the responses to the pandemic created opportunities to expand inclusive social policies in El Salvador, one of the Latin American countries that allocated most resources to confront it. To this end, it examines the main short-term responses deployed in 2020 and 2021 -cash transfers and vaccination, their actors and rationale- and assesses whether they were conducive to expansive post-pandemic legacies. Findings show that the actions were undoubtedly valuable, massive, and fast, but also that the instruments, actors, and narratives that framed them were not conducive to subsequent expansive legacies.

Keywords : aocial policy; pandemic; cash transfers; vaccination; El Salvador; Latin America.
