The Canary Islands has administered the most vaccines in proportion to those it has received compared to any other region of Spain, because the health service has managed to take advantage of a sixth dose from the vials supplied by Pzifer, which takes its figures above 100% to 105.5% of doses delivered.
When delivering vaccines, the number of doses from Pfizer is calculated on five per vial, but the EMA notified that six doses is possible if great care is taken when they are being administered not to waste a single drop. It’s only possible to get an extra dose from a vial, ‘leftovers’ can’t be mixed to make up any extra, so not all vials deliver six doses.
As of yesterday, a total of 1,237,593 people have received at least their first dose of the vaccine in Spain against Covid-19, and of these 88,698 have had both which represents 7.17% of the total vaccinated.
According to the data provided yesterday (Monday) by the Ministry of Health, the autonomous communities have administered on average 91.9% of the doses they have received (1,214,850) from Pfizer-BioNtech and (22,743) Moderna.
The region with the highest percentage of vaccines administered over those received is the Canary Islands with 105.5%, since it administers up to six vaccines per vial, followed by Aragón with 100.2%; Murcia, with 100.1%; and Castilla y León, with 98.2%.
Below the national average, which stands at 91.9%, are Melilla (68.8%); La Rioja (76.6%); Ceuta (77.6%) and the Basque Country, with 80.4%.
By number of doses administered, the most populated communities lead vaccinations, starting with Andalusia with 226,309, followed by Catalonia (184,778) and Madrid (165,514).
The community with the most citizens with the complete vaccine, all from Pfizer, is Andalusia, with 25,516 people who have already received the two doses. They are followed by Castilla y León, with 9,593; Asturias with 9,030 and Galicia with 8,602 vaccinated.
