MADRID, 7 (EUROPA PRESS)
The mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, has been “sure” that the inspection services of the Ministry of Health will pursue “unacceptable behaviors” on the use of the vaccine, after yesterday the regional government indicated that it is investigating the case of the Valdesur residence for the elderly, in Valdemoro, which vaccinated other people and not only workers and users.
“I am sure that of course the inspection of the Ministry of Health will pursue any case in which there has not been an adequate use of vaccines,” Almeida said in statements to the media after presenting the Winter Inclement Plan of the Town hall.
The councilor has indicated that vaccines are “a determining element to be able to defeat the pandemic” and that they are governed by a series of criteria that have been established. “There are a series of criteria that have been established, those who fail to meet these criteria, I have no doubt that the Community of Madrid will pursue this type of behavior,” he added.
The Casablanca group, to which this nursing home arranged with the Community belongs, acknowledged yesterday in a statement that they have detected some anomalies in the selection of people vaccinated against Covid-19 who are not resident in the Casablanca Valdesur nursing home, “but who do belong to its surroundings “.
“The useful life of a vaccine once reconstituted is two hours and if it is not used it is lost. With the sole aim of taking advantage of 100 percent of the doses received and protecting the elderly of our residences as much as possible, it has been vaccinated to various priests who assist us spiritually in the group’s centers, volunteers who are in contact with the elderly on a regular basis and some elderly at risk family members of some employees, “he explained.
