Spain's official health body, the Public Health Commission, has today approved Covid-19 booster vaccines for people in their 50s and those vaccinated with AstraZeneca, as well as confirming that people in the 40-49 age group are to be added to the booster campaign.  Each of Spain's autonomous communities will be responsible for organising its own booster roll-out for over 40s and over 50s, and regional health departments are likely to follow a staggered approach by age in descending order, from oldest to youngest.  To be eligible for a booster dose, 6 months must have passed from their initial 2-dose vaccination.

Hi Kim,

    also in El Pais with details on the different phases by age group. If the Omicron variant takes off like it has in the UK no doubt the booster program will have to be accelerated further.
