Spains Vaccines have-nots

Rated unhelpful. Clearly an attempt to stir things up. There are many Covid threads where fact based opinion can be added.

Hello

If true, though you didn't provide a link....   "may have to wait" ....... that is only,  in my case, a few days later than the Spanish health authority 1st predicted,   so wont be  a problem for me!

I’m in the U.K. and possibly not the right person to comment, but here goes.

Regardless of the ifs, ands and buts, the rights and the wrongs, of what might be perceived as a bit of a slow roll out of the vaccine in Spain, I doubt that there is someone, somewhere, deliberately intent on slowing it down further, or disadvantaging certain groups of people

Sometimes, it just is what it is, right or wrong, and we have to suck it up 🤪🥂

Isn't this because of how Spain is apportioning the vaccines it has ordered - different age groups are to receive different types of vaccines and so the exact timing of when people get the vaccine will be determined by when the specific vaccines  allocated to a given age group arrives

See for example this article:

https://www.majorcadailybulletin.com/news/local/2021/03/31/81745/spain-use-astrazeneca-vaccine-age-group-for-older-people.html

I think that’s correct. I am 63 born in 1957. I estimated I might get my vaccine by the end of May, even though I have asthma.  Until last week the AstraZeneca vaccine was unlikely as it was restricted to the under 55’s. This has now changed and is available to people up to the age of 65. And today I had a text to tell me my first vaccine is scheduled for next week. The only difference I now see is that the delay between 1st and 2nd dose is now around 12 weeks, as my second appointment is set for the end of June.

There is an article on El Pais news page which says what Pix Elated has posted. Easily looked at by going to El Pais English, news page. 

It is a result of the current situation with the AZ vaccine only being approved for 65 and below, though the article does say that the age limit may change soon. It is worth reading the article, it is not a negative report and has some good facts.

Aitch.

Mid april is like 12days

My doctor called me this afternoon (Easter Sunday!) with appointment for first jab this coming Wednesday. (I am 76)
