I know articles have been featured showing how vaccination is progressing in Spain and I understand that the Canaries are under the same rules but does anyone know the situation specifically in Fuerteventura, how many have received the vaccine, what is the programme they are working to. many thanks
Hope this helps"
Vaccination started in December but they have a different timetable here than in the UK. They vaccinated front line health workers first, then vulnerable people in their 80 in care homes and teachers, then vulnerable people in living at home and cohabiting people, the 70-75 etc. (see the groupings below)
They are certainly rolling vaccination out. My Sister (64) was vaccinated last week and I get my 1st shot next week.
If you are in the state health system you will be contacted by your local surgery for an appointment to receive the vaccine. If you have private medical cover you should speak to your insurance company.
Updated 25 March: Sanidad (Canarias) has administered 253,260 doses so far, the health department has announced, of which 8,328 were given yesterday, the highest number administered in a single day so far in the Canaries. This means that 91,350 people in the Canaries have now received their full two-dose vaccination. To give an idea of the breakdown of manufacturers, Sanidad says that yesterday 4,365 doses were Pfizer, 1,344 Moderna, and 2,619 AstraZeneca, AZ only being given to those of 65 or under. Carolina Darias has already announced that the rate of distribution should increase from next month and the rate of administering the vaccines will rise correspondingly.
In terms of groups for vaccination, group 3 is now 99.7% complete for one dose and 20.15% with two doses. Group 4 is at 88.7%/58%, group 5 at 42.15% / 14.3%, and group 6 at 26.3% for first dose. The groups are defined now as:
