Spain is still far from the
herd immunity
that requires at least 60% of the population in contact with the virus.
One out of every ten Spaniards, around 4.7 million citizens, has been infected with coronavirus in the eleven months that we have had a pandemic -half in the second wave-, three million more than those counted as diagnosed by the Ministry of Health , which brings them to just over 1.7 million.
The Government and the autonomous communities are already preparing to advance the start of vaccination against covid-19 in Spain, where there is again a worrying upturn in cases.
The cumulative incidence of cases per 100,000 inhabitants in 14 days has risen five points, to 198.77, the Ministry of Health has reported 388 new deaths from coronavirus and 10,328 new infections.
With this context of evolution of the pandemic, the announcement that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) could conclude the evaluation of the Pfizer / BioNTech vaccine on December 21, 8 days ahead of schedule, has fueled the hope of be able to start vaccinating risk groups before the end of December.
