Health ensures that the Community of Madrid will be able to administer second doses of Pfizer, as no territory will have “out-of-stock problems” due to lack of vials. This has been clarified by the Secretary of State for Health, Silvia Calzón, after the controversy in Madrid over the second doses.
The Government of Isabel Díaz Ayuso has requested “patience” for the delay in the second doses of people vaccinated with Pfizer, which should be administered at 21 days, and it is hidden in that they don’t have enough vaccinations at this time.
“We are in an environment with a shortage of vaccines and we are receiving half of the vaccines than in June,” said the Madrid Health Minister, Enrique Ruiz Escudero placeholder image.
Now, from the Ministry they respond to these statements to make it clear that there will be no problems in administering the complete schedule of this vaccine. The expert assures that with the current data, the Community of Madrid “I would not have out-of-stock problems at least in the next three weeks“And all despite the fact that the arrival of Pfizer vials in July will be less than last month.
The Secretary of State for Health also recalled that the Government, through the EU distribution mechanism, obtained “with great effort” an advance of the pharmaceutical vials for last month, something of which all territories were informed, that they could, he said, do “a correct planning” of vaccinations taking into account that this month the arrival of remittances would decrease.
On the other hand, Calzón explained that AstraZeneca’s surplus vaccines will be used for the Covax cooperation mechanism for developing countries.
