While the European Medicines Agency (EMA), the World Health Organization (WHO), the scientific committees have endorsed the second dose of AstraZeneca,

the option of the Ministry of Health agreed by the Public Health Commission was Pfizer

.

And that contradiction sparked controversy.

From the Public Health Commission yesterday it was stressed that "the recommendation for people under 60 years vaccinated with the first dose of AstraZeneca is that the second dose be with Pfizer. Only in the case of rejecting this vaccine,

it is exceptionally considered to be vaccinated with AstraZeneca after signing the corresponding informed consent

".

Action endorsed by the Bioethics Committee.

But the

controversial decision of Health

, against the experts of the Vaccine Report, to use a mixed regimen to complete the second dose of those under 60 years of age of the essential professional groups (groups 3B, 3C and 6), has been generated chaos and disparity in autonomic responses.

Where have they already started to put the second doses?

Murcia, Andalusia and Melilla have already started with the punctures.

It should be remembered that the Vaccination Strategy estimates that "the first people who should receive the second dose after extending the separation interval between doses to 16 weeks, should do so in the week of May 31".

Extremadura, will do so throughout the week;

Catalonia and Navarra start today;

Castilla y León, tomorrow.

Which ones will start putting them in the month of June?

Galicia, La Rioja, the Canary Islands, the Balearic Islands, Aragon, the Community of Madrid, the Basque Country, Asturias, Castilla-La Mancha and the Valencian Community.

Not all the Autonomous Communities set a specific date.

Where have they stated that they are not going to put, for the moment, the second dose with the AstraZeneca schedule?

In the Basque Country, where they are in the process of being summoned, the affected groups have to sign an informed consent and are placed on a waiting list to be inoculated with the Oxford one.

Can you be vaccinated and refuse to sign the consent?

From Andalusia, Juanma Moreno, has stated that “if a person appears to be vaccinated and does not want to sign it, our health obligation is to vaccinate him, regardless of whether he does not want to sign that informed consent.

The president of the Board has specified that "the vast majority of citizens are signing."

How will the citations be made?

According to the community.

There are several modalities: self-appointment, SMS message or telephone contact.

Will there be enough doses for both options?

According to Carolina Darias, "1.3 million doses of AstraZeneca arrive next week and the communities have up to one more in their refrigerators."

Another 2.7 million doses are expected to arrive from Pfizer in Monday's shipment.

Of the English option, there are more than 12 million doses contracted, and so

far 5,975,400 have arrived and 4,963,625 have been administered

.

And what is the situation community by community?

Andalusia:

the controversy generated over the informed consent of those under 60 years of age to receive the second dose of AstraZeneca, which the Board does not require to sign, has been generated by the "lack of clarity" of the Ministry of Health.

It is the first community to begin inoculating the second dose to essential professionals under the age of 60 who received the first dose of AstraZeneca.

259,071 essential professionals are waiting.

Aragon:

Regarding the second doses of AstraZeneca, the citation system is being finalized to start this vaccination from next week with the people who first started this schedule.

Asturias:

The 21,000 children under 60 who received a first puncture of the Anglo-Swedish serum will be able to choose between repeating and a second from Pfizer starting next week.

Balearic Islands:

The Ministry of Health will cancel the appointments to get vaccinated for those under 60 who received a first dose of AstraZeneca (essential workers) and will call them again from June 2 to administer the second and to choose if they receive another from the same pharmaceutical company or Pfizer.

First, the people who received the first dose for the longest time will access, but "all those who are pending" will be summoned, as Maria Antònia Font, general director of Public Health and Participation, assured.

Canary Islands:

Some 57,200 people vaccinated before April 7, before the AstraZeneca stoppage, will be progressively cited to receive a second dose.

Cantabria:

The Government of the region recalls in a statement that no citizen who wants to be vaccinated will be left without immunization and that, at the moment, the group in which the vaccination campaign is focused is 59-50 years old.

In Cantabria, between 17,000 and 20,000 people under 60 years of age vaccinated with AstraZeneca and pending to receive the second dose will be cited.

Castilla y León:

The first to 'test' this new formula will be precisely the members of the professional associations or, in other words, the 71,000 essential workers under the age of 60, who, stranded in no man's land waiting for an agreement between administrations, they will go through the needle again from this Friday to complete the cycle. The only thing left to decide is whether they will ask for informed consent "in both cases or neither."

Castilla-La Mancha:

The

La Mancha

government spokeswoman, Blanca Fernández, has indicated that the health authorities of the region are opting to apply to those already vaccinated in the first instance with AstraZeneca a second dose of the pharmaceutical company Pfizer, although she has made it clear that it will be the interested parties who will have the last word and will be able to accept to continue the pattern with the first option.

Catalonia: On

Thursday, the immunization of essential professionals under 60 years of age who already have a first AstraZeneca vaccine and who will be given Pfizer by default will resume on Thursday, although they will have the option of requesting the Oxford one, at a time when the improvement slows epidemic.

Valencian Community:

151,000 Valencians are awaiting the launch of the summons to choose what to complete the guideline with.

Extremadura:

The summons of the almost 32,000 Extremaduran people under 60 years of age who received the first dose of the Anglo-Swedish will begin in the middle of this week, which their council plans to inoculate already this weekend, depending on the available doses.

Galicia:

It plans to start with this group the first week of June.

La Rioja:

They will start here on June 4, as announced yesterday by the Minister of Health, Sara Alba. The process will resume from next week and they will be immunized with Pfizer, except those who sign the consent to complete the regimen with the same drug, as reported in the newspaper

La Rioja

. At this time, La Rioja has more than 12,000 doses of AstraZeneca in stock and they will continue to arrive, thus guaranteeing the possibility of meeting requests not to mix vaccines. The number of people pending completion of the guideline is 13,765 essential workers under 60 years of age. On June 4, those 16 weeks of pause are fulfilled.

Madrid:

One of the most active in defense of completing the schedule with AstraZeneca, will begin with the appointment of 213,300 people at the Hospital Nurse Isabel Zendal.

They will be able to choose between AZ or Pfizer and will have at their disposal two models of informed consent, depending on whether they decide on one or the other vaccine.

They will also be provided with an informative document with the technical considerations and recommendations of the Ministry of Health for them to choose AZ.

They will be summoned to receive AZ with an interactive SMS where they can accept, reject or request a change of appointment.

Even if they accept the message to receive AZ, they will be able to choose the option of being inoculated with Pfizer on site.

Melilla:

The Ministry of Public Health will prioritize the AstraZeneca vaccine among those under 60 years of age after it has approved to start the vaccination yesterday. Melilla prioritizes AZ to vaccinate those under 60 years of age pending the second dose to be vaccinated with the English because for those who choose Pfizer they will have to wait until an undetermined date to be summoned by Public Health. The same will happen this Thursday with the officials of the Civil Guard, National Police, Local Police and Firefighters, and who want to receive their second dose must be AstraZeneca, because otherwise they would also have to wait. For Friday, all those people belonging to "essential professions" have been scheduled.who do not attend the appointments on Wednesday and Thursday to receive the second dose of AstraZeneca and want to take advantage of what they have called "repechage" to do so, as well as "Other Collectives" that have not been specified for these first two days, such as mobility agents, civil protection, pharmacies, etc.

Murcia:

The Region has announced that this week they will conclude the vaccination schedule for 16,000 people who had received AZ and that they must now sign an informed consent whether they receive the second dose of this preparation or if they opt for that of Pfizer.

Navarre:

Salud will gradually recover the postponed appointments of those under 60 years of this group, to whom it will send SMS to receive Pfizer with the option of AstraZeneca, with prior informed consent. The Department of Health will contact from this Thursday, May 27, by SMS with a first group of 8,027 people under 60 years of age from the essential professional groups (teachers, security forces and second-line health and social-health personnel, among others) who had received the first dose of AstraZeneca, to continue progressively contacting throughout the month of June with the rest of the members of this group of just over 20,000 people, as reported in the Diario de Navarra.

Basque Country:

The summons process begins this week.

More than 83,000 essential workers under the age of 60 have received the first dose of AstraZeneca.

This week they begin to call to receive the second one from Pfizer, and if they do not want this preparation, they have to sign an informed consent and are placed on a waiting list to be inoculated with the Oxford one.
