• Campaign: This is how Spain is immunized against Covid from today

  • Live, coronavirus, live today

  • Planning: the campaign, community by community

It was a few minutes after 09:00 when Araceli, 96, made history at the Los Olmos residence in Guadalajara.

The elderly woman, the oldest resident of the senior center, has been the first person to receive the coronavirus vaccine in Spain.

"Very nervous", she crossed herself before receiving the prick in front of the cameras.

But right away he stated that it had been "nothing", just "a little itchy."

After receiving the first dose, she thanked "God" for having been vaccinated.

After her, Mónica Tapias, a nursing assistant who is the youngest health worker who works at the center, received the vaccine.

"It is a pride,"

said Tapias, who will continue with his working day for the remainder of the day.

"Let's see if this disease is finally over," said the health company, which has appealed to the entire population to be vaccinated.

"Many people have died, it is a pity that they did not arrive in time for the vaccine," he lamented.

Monica and Araceli have been the first people in an immense vaccination campaign to end the coronavirus, which will also begin in the other autonomous communities throughout the day.

The forecast is that in the next 12 weeks the immunization of 2.29 million people against Covid-19 will be completed, which will continue with the rest of the population in a process that will last several months in the 13,000 points available to the public health network in Spain.

It is the beginning of the end.

Today marks

291 days since March 11

, when the WHO declared the pandemic.

The vaccines entered through a side door of Los Olmos at 8:13 this Sunday.

At the main gate, a police device made up of four cars was deployed from early in the morning, between local and national police, in addition to the Civil Guard barracks that is a few meters from Los Olmos.

The perimeter is as armored as the warehouse where Pfizer stores its doses in Spain, less than 10 kilometers from this residence.

Some fully protected residents and workers cautiously leaned out the windows of the upper floors to contemplate the throng of journalists (about thirty) at their feet.
