Finally, the team of the Spanish National Team that is preparing to play the Eurocup will be vaccinated.

The

Carolina Darias

Ministry

has made this decision, after the Public Health Commission declined yesterday to rule on this possibility.

Health admits that it will be carried out as in the case of the delegation of Olympic athletes.

As this newspaper has learned, they will be vaccinated with Pfizer and the Army will be in charge of immunizing the athletes and the technical team of the National Team, around 50 people.

From the department of Darias it is stated that more details will be given after the Interterritorial Council this afternoon.

However, unlike the athletes who will go to Tokyo, the National Team players will not achieve full immunization against covid-19, as they will go with only one dose, when the full schedule is two doses, the necessary weeks will not have elapsed. to generate enough antibodies.

"We do the same as we did last week with the athletes who go to the Tokyo Games," said the Minister of Culture and Sports,

José Manuel Rodríguez Uribes

, to justify his request this Tuesday. In addition, he clarified that "the request [for the players to be vaccinated] is from Friday and is prior to the positive of

(Sergio) Busquets,

which is June 7. We did it with the intention of vaccinating this week and now they have to decide what put vaccine ", settled.

The Minister of Health will report at the plenary session of the Interterritorial Council held this Wednesday, that the Ministry assumes vaccination within the scope of its competences to the extent that the National Team represents the group of athletes who, representing our country, will participate in international competitions, just like our Olympic teams.
