    This is how vaccination against Covid advances in each community

Health establishes that people

under 55 years of age who have had the infection symptomatically or asymptomatically will only be administered one dose

of vaccine six months after infection.

This is one of the most significant changes that have been introduced in the fourth update of the Vaccination Strategy against Covid-19.

The Public Health Commission has

defined the new order of the groups, always prioritizing by age

, and what to do if people have previously passed the infection or not.

The document highlights that it is not necessary to perform serological tests either before or after vaccination.

Amós García Rojas, president of the Spanish Association of Vaccination (AEV), explains to EL MUNDO, that "these decisions are possible because in the technical file of the vaccines it is stated that

the prescription will be made according to the decisions made by the authorities health

[in this case the Vaccine Report in the Public Health Commission] ".

With this, García Rojas states that "the debate and the position in the scientific community are reflected, in which there are published works, such as today in

The Lancet,

that support this decision-making."

What are the new groups?

Said update of the Strategy includes as a novelty compared to the previous one the following groups to be vaccinated with

mRNA (Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines)

:

people from 70 to 79 years old (group 5B), from 60 to 69 (group 5C), under 60 with severe COVID19 high risk conditions (group 7) and aged between 56 and 59 (group 8)

.

The definition of these groups has been carried out in anticipation of a greater availability of vaccine doses in the second quarter of the year.

Furthermore, the document specifies that, with

AstraZeneca

vaccines

, once the vaccination of groups with an essential function for society prioritized in Update 3 has been completed, it will be administered to

people between 45 and 55 years of age (group 9).

If I have passed the covid, do I get vaccinated or not?

As a novelty in this update, the vaccination recommendations for people with previous coronavirus infection, both asymptomatic and symptomatic, are also included.

After reviewing the existing clinical studies, it is recommended in those

over 55 years of age with a diagnosis of infection who have received the first dose, the inoculation of the second when they are completely recovered

and the isolation period has ended.

In the

population under 55 years of age who have passed the infection

with or without symptoms

, a single dose

of vaccine will be administered six months after infection.

In no case is it essential to carry out serological tests either before or after these vaccinations.
