The vaccination campaign in Spain continues, with almost 34 million citizens who have received the complete guideline. This represents 71.5% of the total population, exceeding the percentage associated with group immunity. Figures that increase in the case of those who have received a dose (more than 36 million, 77.3% from Spain). These data led a French media to qualify the country as “the gifted pupil of Europe”.
But this is not enough and, as Pedro Sánchez assured a few days ago, the next goal will be to reach 90% of the population with the two doses of the vaccine. But before that, the sanitarians try to find those who still have not been vaccinated: either because they did not want it or due to incompatibilities. With the change in the protocol regarding vaccination after infection, now there is little to wait one month to be able to receive the vaccine.
There are almost 10 million Spaniards who have not received the COVID vaccine: of them, 5.422.950, Explain NIUS, yet have not had a dose of the vaccine. These data represent the 12.9% of the population over 12 years old (age from which it can be vaccinated) and 22.7% of the national total. The figure worries experts, since they can allow the virus to circulate at a higher speed and, above all, lead to new variants: the greater the spread, the greater the possibility that other variants will be generated.
In search of the undecided
After several months of debate, in which the doses were exhausted almost within hours of receiving them, the truth is that now there are millions of doses waiting in the fridges. According to the latest report from Health, have been delivered to the communities 73,687,182 doses of the vaccine, of which 66,788,317 have been administeredThus, there are about seven million waiting to be inoculated.
Faced with this situation, regional governments look for every option to make the undecided get vaccinated: from the most typical calls and text messages to the help from influencers from various fields encouraging the population to get vaccinated. In Catalonia, the Department of Health has launched a campaign aimed at specific neighborhoods and groups in which the vaccination rate is lower. To do this, they will use the collaboration of influencers to help the youngest decide.
Known has also been the initiative of the vacuguas: two buses with the motto ‘Canarias se vaccina’ that have toured the cities of Gran Canaria and Tenerife searching for unvaccinated people. Total, more than 300,000 people have been vaccinated against COVID at this point on wheels that has circulated through every corner of the islands. He even traveled there, to know it first-hand, the Minister of Health, Carolina Darias.

Finally, many communities have left behind the need to make an appointment to request the vaccine. Time, in these cases, is not a problem. Some bet on specific places and others throughout the territory. Thus, in the following communities there are vaccination points where you do not have to register: Andalusia, Aragon, Asturias, Balearic Islands, Canary Islands, Castilla-La Mancha, Catalonia, Valencian Community, Extremadura, La Rioja, Murcia, Madrid, Navarra and Ceuta. In the case of the Zendal Hospital and the WiZink Center in Madrid, it is held seven days a week and 24 hours a day.
