The whole world watches the situation of cases of COVID-19 shot at China. The heart of the pandemic is in the Asian giant at a time when it coincides with its opening of borders. The World Health Organization (WHO) asks for clear data and health agencies and institutions urge to continue with the vaccination against the coronavirus. Spain administers the fourth dose of the vaccine, but at a pace very slow.
Since the second booster dose against the virus was approved, only 55.5% of the over 60s wore it. Health recommends this dose for all ages. Likewise, this sting is being adapted to the new variants to try to give a final blow to the coronavirus which is still far away.
Vaccination stagnates and this causes, among other things, that many vaccines they expire. About 14 million doses are no longer needed, 5% of those received. So far, 206 million vials have arrived in Spain and, so far, 104 million have been placed. In other words, there are still another 102 million vaccines not administered.
Last Friday, the health minister Caroline Daria He wanted to evaluate Spain’s “high vaccination coverage” in the face of the increase in coronavirus cases in China. He indicated a “country of reference” in the field of vaccination, even if he insisted on the need to “continue the campaign of the second booster dose”.
Vaccination by age group
At the end of 2022, the group that received the most fourth doses of the vaccine was that of the over-80s: the 72.9% received the sting, a total of 2,104,503 people. This group is followed by 70 to 79 years old with 2,439,710 people vaccinated with four doses (62.39%).
only the 41.4% of the population of 60 to 69 years old received the fourth dose against Covid-19, for a total of 2,280,426 people. After more than two years of the pandemic, 92.9% of the population over 12 in Spain has the full regimen (39,202,737 people). As for the group of children between 5 and 12 years, 56% have at least one dose and 46.4% the complete regimen.
