The Santa Marina de Bilbao hospital

experienced a

frenzied vaccination day

on January 19

in which its 550 employees, including the managing director José Luis Sabas

, received the first dose.

The head of the center decided, without permission or comply with sanitary protocols,

complete vaccination

with

four trade unionists, four religious four waiters

of the subcontracts that manages the cafeteria of the center, d

os stockers

machines

vending

and

two messengers

on the way.

Sabas, a veteran PNV manager who was part of Iñaki Azkuna's team, was forced to resign without the Health Minister

Gotzone Sagardui has clarified why he was given about 600 doses of the Pfize

r

vaccine

.

Sagardui has revealed today that among the irregularly vaccinated in Santa Marina there was

a diverse group of people outside the health structure

and without any connection to care for patients with Covid-19.

The resignation of José Luis Sabas occurred on January 20 after acknowledging that he had vaccinated the entire staff, including the management team.

But it was today when Sagardui has revealed that not only did he commit the irregularity of vaccinating himself and his managers but also included 16 other people unrelated to the health center.

Sagardui has had to appear in the Basque Parliament to explain Sabas's resignation and the

dismissal of the manager of the Basurto hospital, Eduardo Maíz,

who was vaccinated on Sunday, January 3, with leftover doses of vaccines for nursing homes in Bizkaia.

The counselor has tried to disassociate herself from the vaccination in Santa Marina despite the fact that

Sabas has revealed that she had the go-ahead for this mass vaccination and that she had even invited Sagardui

to be present at it.

Following the announcement by the Basque Health Minister, the

Workers' Commissions

union

has announced the dismissal of its union delegate in Santa Marina

.

The version of the rest of the unions is that Sabas informed the workers' representatives that they should be vaccinated to guarantee the safety of the rest of the workforce and of the patients in one of the hospitals with the highest rate of infected by Covid-19.

"He was ordered to be vaccinated immediately since the Hospital Directorate had determined that, to continue doing this work in safety conditions and protect the hospital, he

should be vaccinated once the vaccination of the entire staff had already been completed," said the ELA union

that will keep its delegate.

UGT has

also

defended the vaccination of its representative because "it followed the dictates of the occupational risk prevention services."
