The Minister of Health, Carolina Darias, said she expects that people over 80 years of age will be vaccinated in Spain "in next two weeks", during a television interview last night. “We are meeting milestones; we already have nursing home residents and users vaccinated, plus all of group 2, which is frontline workers too. What is the priority objective now? Those over 80 years of age; I hope that in the next two weeks we will have that group covered”, she stated.
During the interview, Darias has once again maintained that the Government's forecast, in accordance with that of the European Commission, is to have 70% of the Spanish population vaccinated by the end of the summer.
This forecast is maintained because in April there will be an “important leap” in the arrival of vaccines to Spain, which Darias explained: “From April there will be a very important increase in the arrival of vaccines, as delivery will be multiplied by three compared to what we are receiving now”.
