The Ministry of Health have reported today, that 293,900 people over 12 years of age have not yet been vaccinated against Covid in the Canary Islands. Most are concentrated in the 20 to 39-year-old age group, and 85.5% of the Island’s population has had at least their first jab.
So far, 82.8 % have been fully vaccinated, which means 1,739,604 people of the 2,033,513 over 12 years old registered in the islands. This means that there are currently still 293,909 people in this age group who have not received any dose of the vaccine, according to data from the latest report on vaccination published by the Ministry of Health.
This is below the national average for the whole of Spain, where 92.8% of the population over 12 years of age have had at least one dose and 91% are fully vaccinated, and disappointing from people who live in islands that rely on tourism and people coming and going every week to and from the archipelago.
However, the vaccination data differs a lot according to the different age groups, and by far, people between 20 and 39 years of age on the islands are the ones most reluctant to protect themselves, and others, with coverage percentages practically stagnant this year, and the longer people delay, the longer it will take for hospital pressure to reduce and the longer we will have restrictions.
According to the Health report, these are the percentage of people in each age group that have been vaccinated:
12 to 19-year-olds: 84.7%.
20 to 29-year-olds: 74.1%.
30 to 39-year-olds: 73.9%
40 to 49-year-olds: 78.6%.
50 to 59-year-olds: 87.5%.
60 to 69-year-olds: 88.8%.
70 to 79-year-olds: 90.4%.
Over 80-year-olds: 92.2%.
There are also 923,890 people who have received their booster dose in the Canary Islands.
