The tourism sector is on the way to facing a summer campaign like that of 2020, under minimums. If the coronavirus vaccine was expected to reach 70% of the population this summer and herd immunity could be generated and activity encouraged, current vaccination numbers do not certify this. And even less for Easter.
“We are going at a fairly fast pace but there are almost five million people living here and we have 114,000 people vaccinated (by the end of the week about 51,000 will have the second dose). It does not take Pythagoras to realize that the accounts do not come out. And even more so if the planned doses do not arrive ”, the first vice president of the Consell, Mónica Oltra, acknowledged yesterday on TVE1.
To reach the summer with 3.5 million immunized Valencians, 700,000 people would have to be vaccinated twice a month. Health maintains that in the first quarter they will have vaccinated 200,000 people and that in March large quantities of vaccines will begin to arrive.
Health returns to focus on dispensing the second dose to the health and elderly of the geriatrics. The vaccination of health personnel in private hospitals is also beginning, to which 600 doses of Moderna will be administered. Likewise, this same brand will be injected to 2,000 public health workers and a thousand residents of nursing homes who had active outbreaks and had not started vaccination.
In addition, Pfizer is expected to vaccinate 16,000 second doses to residents who were already vaccinated between January 11 and 17, and the first dose to older people who could not be immunized at the time.
The health workers vaccinated between January 11 and 14 will begin to receive the second dose, and since there are not enough injected between January 14 and 17, they are left for the following week.
