The 90% of Spaniards have already received the complete vaccine schedule against the coronavirus, according to the report of the Ministry of Health. Spain experienced a high increase in people who wanted to be vaccinated before Christmas, between December 17 and 21. That meant that today more than half of those over 40 have the extra dose. However, one piece of information worries Health. Still there is almost 5% of the population that has not completed the pattern.
People who have been infected and who had an appointment scheduled for the third dose, they will have to wait four weeks to put it on. The day that has been tested positive would begin to be counted.
This decision affects those under 65, as published by the Ministry of Health in its new update of the vaccination strategy in Spain. With this new update, people over 40 can receive the third dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, even if they have not been infected.
Furthermore, the document maintains that people vaccinated with Pfizer o Moderna can receive the booster dose 6 months after the second injection. For people vaccinated with Janssen or AstraZeneca, this timeframe is shortened to 3 months. Regarding the kids from 5 to 11 years, the last group in which vaccination has been authorized, Health establishes that those who have already had the disease will receive a single dose from 4 weeks after diagnosis. If the infection is between vaccines, the second dose will be administered 4 weeks after recovery, maintaining the 8-week interval.
