Two out of three citizens chose not to get vaccinated. The reason, as pointed out by Zapatero, is the “procession of confusion” generated from the central executive With much age-related change on which to apply this dose.

“It has been achieved that from a 2-3% rejection of the vaccine the day before all this happened, it has reached a rejection of 60-70% “. During the appearance, in addition, it has revealed the rejection of the Community of Madrid to vaccination limit “without technical criteria” with AstraZeneca doses, now from 60 to 69 after a new extension on Thursday evening.

The deputy counselor was vaccinated on Wednesday at the Zendal along with other 10: 045 people, before the change of criteria. A day later, the figure dropped to 5,600.. Since the start of the vaccination program, the region has administered more than 1,200,000 doses of the three available vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna and AstraZeneca), while 6% have already received the full regimen. “Our objective is vaccinate morning and evening, and every day“, pointed out Zapatero.
