The

delays in vaccination against the coronavirus

are generating concern and complaints in some autonomous communities while the focus remains on the increase in infections in almost all territories, although the figures are especially worrying in Catalonia.

Some regional governments have given this Sunday the new figures of the pandemic, which

continue to grow in a generalized way

and despite the fact that they still do not reflect the effects of the Christmas celebrations.

Especially alarming is the situation in Catalonia to the point that the head of Infectious Diseases at the Hospital del Mar in Barcelona, ​​Robert Güerri, has warned that the increase in cases has generated a

"worrying" situation in hospitals

, which are out of control , advising that if action is not taken urgently, care for the sick will have to be "prioritized".

Regrowth risk

Today's data reflects that the

risk of re-outbreak has increased 54 points in the last 24 hours

, with 1,483 new infections, and that hospital pressure has risen, a worsening that could lead to the approval of additional restrictions, according to Civil Protection of the Generalitat.

There has also been an

increase in cases in Andalusia, Castilla y León, Madrid, Murcia, Aragón, Cantabria and the Basque Country

, a community where the upward trend is confirmed after five consecutive days of the increase in infected and after a decrease in the incidence since mid-November.

On the contrary, new cases have

dropped in Galicia, Cantabria and Navarra

, the latter registering a notable decrease, with 66 infected, which turns the page to five days in which the infections exceeded one hundred people.

The

slowness in the vaccination process

, which started just a week ago, has also focused the political controversy about the coronavirus, with criticism especially from Madrid, and later Andalusia.

The

Madrid government

continues to complain that

the number of doses

assigned to the community

is

insufficient

and that at this rate, on June 30, it will not have been possible to vaccinate

even 10 percent

of Madrid residents.

Health personnel vacations

A recrimination that has also been made by the general secretary of the PP in Madrid, Ana Camins, who, on the other hand, has justified the delays in vaccination due to the

vacations of the health personnel in

charge of doing it, while the Madrid socialist spokesman, Ángel Gabilondo, He regretted that the Executive of Isabel Díaz Ayuso uses anything, in this case vaccines, to

confront the Government of Pedro Sánchez

and has insisted that the distribution is proportional and was agreed.

Also in Andalusia they have become involved in this issue when the Andalusian socialist leader, Susana Díaz,

has labeled

the president of the Board, Juanma Moreno,

as "mean"

, who has indicated that he would sign right now if by June he could have half of the population, and for this it has asked

the Government for speed

in dispensing the doses.

In

Catalonia,

the vaccination campaign is slowing down and in fact

has only put 13 percent of the doses

it has received and to remedy it, the Health Department has announced that they will vaccinate seven days a week, including holidays.

Regarding the immunization process throughout Spain, the general director of Public Health, Pilar Aparicio, explained that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines will be

administered indistinctly

since "there is no difference in their effectiveness and it will not be necessary to establish any type of prioritization" , but the use of one or the other will depend on logistical issues.

Meanwhile, the Christmas festivities this week face the

final stretch with the celebration of Three Kings,

on Wednesday, which this year runs out of the traditional parade in most of the cities and municipalities of the country, as announced by those responsible, starting with Madrid, which will replace its famous stop with

six kite-shaped flashes of light

launched from different parts of the city.

In any case, the rides that are not virtual will have

reduced capacity

, with shorter routes and some will be static.
