  • Vaccines: The European Commission doubles the purchase of doses of the vaccine from Pfizer-BioNTech

  • Immunization. "Of the 360,000 vaccines that arrived, not all have been used due to a lack of planning and nurses."

This Friday from Moncloa Salvador Illa, Minister of Health, after the meeting of the coronavirus monitoring committee, chaired by the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has defended the capacity of the National Health System in the anticovid campaign.

"The

SNS has the necessary capacity to administer the doses of vaccines

, even those that may be coming in higher quantities in the coming weeks with safety and efficacy."

At the press conference, the minister referred to the next 6000,000 Moderna vaccines that Spain will begin to receive in a week and the "good news" announced today by Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, about the increase in doses acquired from BioNTec-Pfizer, 75 million more doses for the second quarter, where "Spain will participate proportionally with its share: 10%".

There

are

already

140,000 people vaccinated

, but Illa recalled that "this has to continue to improve" and the goal is "that there are more people vaccinated than infected," as Carolina Darias, Minister of Territorial Policy and Public Function, has stressed.

In this sense, the minister has valued the effort made by all the autonomous communities: "They

are all applying the vaccination plan

that we jointly developed and with which we began to work on September 9. I have already said that a

cruising speed

and I'm sure it's going to be like that. "

On the other hand, he has made an assessment of the epidemic situation.

Here, the head of Health has acknowledged that "the pandemic is evolving for the worse", but added that "the autonomous communities are already taking forceful measures, in accordance with the strategy that

allowed

us

to defeat the second wave, agreed on the 23rd of October

".

The minister has indicated a cumulative incidence of 321 cases per 100,000 inhabitants on average, a hospital pressure of 12%, an ICU bed occupancy of 24% and a PCR test positivity of 13.48%.

Following these data, Illa has announced that "cases will continue to grow and

the coming weeks will be tough

", a

leitmotif

that has been repeating since before Christmas.

For this reason, he has urged citizens to deduct mobility and contacts to the maximum.

And he has added a halo of hope: "If we do this, in a time horizon we will stabilize and

bend this increase in cases, as already happened in the second wave

."
