Two senior public officials from areas controlled by the PSOE, one from the Balearic Autonomous Government and the other from the Consell de Mallorca, have also been vaccinated.

They received their dose the first day the vaccines arrived in the Islands, in a nursing home located in the center of Palma.

One of them is Carlos Villafáfila, coordinator of the vaccination campaign in the Islands and deputy director of Nursing.

The other is Sofía Alonso, head of the Senior Citizens area of ​​the Consell.

The Government has admitted that they were immunized and has justified it by alleging the social and health function that both perform daily for their political work.

Both have already received two doses of the vaccine despite the fact that many first-line health workers still have not received theirs.

Villafáfila was vaccinated on the first day of the immunization campaign in the Balearic Islands, at the Oms-Sant Miquel residence, the center chosen for the first photo of the injection to a nonagenarian woman.

According to sources from the Health area of ​​the Balearic government cited by Europa Press, he did so "because he is the deputy director of nursing and care at IbSalut and has a constant and direct relationship with residential centers."

According to the information provided by the Government after the case was revealed, on the day of the start of the vaccination campaign at the Oms-Sant Miquel Residence, 169 defrosted doses arrived at the center, which, they allege, could not be re-frozen.

"For some reasons or others, in addition, not all users and workers had given their consent to be vaccinated," they apologize from the regional Executive.

"For this reason, the vaccination team that had traveled to the residence, including the deputy director of Nursing and Care of IbSalut and coordinator of the vaccination strategy, Carlos Villafáfila, were vaccinated."

IbSalut also claims that Villafáfila "is not a position affiliated with the PSOE or any other party, he was vaccinated as a worker who has a constant and direct relationship with the residences and to protect the users and workers of these, not himself" .

The Consell, for its part, explained that Alonso also received the first dose of the vaccine against COVID-19 on December 27 because "the criteria of the Ministry of Health said that he began to vaccinate social health personnel and within that to people who can be sources or vectors of contagion. This is the case, for example, of personnel who manage outbreaks in residences. "

For the island government, Alonso met the requirements because she was the director of a public residence in Palma, La Bonanova.
