07.30 Health concern due to the lack of a single message about vaccines against the coronavirus
There is concern in the Ministry of Health about how the message about which vaccine to administer to those under 60 who received a first dose of AstraZeneca, and who should now receive one from Pfizer, as agreed in the Interterritorial Health Council, after it became known that
some autonomies are giving these citizens the possibility of choosing
between one vaccine or another.
The Ministry of Health believes that the current moment of the vaccination process, increasingly focused on younger groups, is critical, which is why it has called on the communities to give a unique message about vaccines because, according to warns, the opposite generates a uncertainty that endangers the campaign.
Sources from the department headed by Carolina Darias admit that in recent weeks there has been a
"very serious problem"
of communication around the second dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine by implying that it was a matter of choice or preference for children under 60 years.
Spain has recorded
20 confirmed
or suggestive
cases
of
adverse effects of thrombi
with thrombocytopenia due to the use of the
AstraZeneca vaccine
and, among them,
four deaths and a fifth under study
.
All, in those under 60 years of age.
This has been confirmed by ministerial sources that estimate that there is one death for every million people vaccinated with AstraZeneca over 60 years and that they estimate the notification of this class of rare thrombi at 0.5 per 100,000 doses.
4,987,707 people have so far received the formula from the British laboratory.
Almost five million vaccinated with AstraZeneca: 20 cases of thrombi with the first dose and four deaths
07.19 Madrid has enough doses of Astrazeneca before the "massive" demand
The incidence of
coronavirus
continues to decline in the Community of Madrid, which next week will begin to vaccinate with the
second doses
those who have already received one of AstraZeneca, for which there is a "sufficient quantity of vaccines" of this brand, demanded "in bulk" instead of Pfizer.
The Community of Madrid will begin to vaccinate people under the age of 60 who have already received a first dose of AstraZeneca at the beginning of next week at the Isabel Zendal hospital, offering them, through an informed consent, the possibility of receiving the second dose of this brand or Pfizer.
Around 213,300 people who have already received a first dose of AstraZeneca and were waiting to
complete the vaccination
in the Madrid region.
07.17 Madrid communicates the flexibility in bars and restaurants in view of the improvement in the incidence
The Community of Madrid updates this Friday the restrictions against the
coronavirus due
to the improvement in the incidence, with measures already advanced.
As of Monday, May 31, the Community of Madrid will make the measures in the hotel industry more flexible with the expansion of the opening of bars and restaurants from twelve to one in the morning, as well as the number of diners: from 4 to 6 indoors and 6 to 8 on terraces, reports Efe.
07.15 Spain, greater optimism regarding the second summer of the pandemic
Spain faces its second summer in the
coronavirus
pandemic
, and it does so again flooded with messages of optimism and euphoria at having left the toughest restrictions behind.
The summer of 2021 is reminiscent of 2020 in many ways, but there is one that makes the incontestable difference: there are vaccines and they are effective.
07.10 Vaccination for people under 50 years of age is accelerated
Castilla-La Mancha, the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands and Ceuta have tightened the accelerator for the vaccination of the population aged 40 to 49 years, which will be generalized throughout the month of June in the rest of the communities, while others have chosen to wait for ending the older age groups so as not to create false expectations in the population, reports Efe.
After
Ceuta
was the first territory, a week ago, to start vaccinating in this age group, together with the 50 to 59-year-old group, in
Castilla-La Mancha this group
is punctured from today with the Moderna preparation and it is done, before spreading to the rest of the region, in a town of Ciudad Real, in Bolaños de Calatrava.
