The Community of Madrid has resumed this Monday the vaccination against Covid-19 of young people aged 16 and 17 years after the European Medicines Agency has authorized its inoculation with Moderna.

After opening the self-citation system to this age group this morning, and despite the fact that it has not been made public until now,

5,500 people

have already signed up

, according to the Ministry of Health.

In the government of Isabel Díaz Ayuso they were waiting for the supply of Pfizer that they receive weekly from the central Executive to allow them to undertake a different strategy than the one they had been doing since mid-July: to only put second doses to people who they had previously received the first one.

Until now, immunization from the age of 18 was being carried out with the serum of the Moderna pharmaceutical company and in the case of appointment seekers over 40 years of age, they were opting to administer Janssen, which only requires a prick.

The president of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, has again demanded this Monday more roads, wielding that the return to school will soon arrive and "the little ones also have to be prepared so that it is safe."

"We are obliged to be unfriendly in this because, obviously, every purchase news is good, but in a community with almost seven million people every remittance falls short," he stressed in an interview on Telecinco.

Last Friday, the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, announced the arrival of 3.4 million additional doses of Pfizer in order to meet the goal of immunizing 70% of the population before the end of August.

In this way, after the modification by the European Medicines Agency that allows inoculation of Moderna from 16 years of age, the Community of Madrid reactivates the application of first doses to the youngest, which had been stopped by the shortage of Pfizer, the only one they could receive so far.
