adrid suspends vaccinations for two weeks due to supply shortage
Madrid health authorities have suspended vaccination against Covid-19 this week and next as they are running out of doses, Madrid’s deputy regional president Ignacio Aguado said on Wednesday.
Reuters reports:
The region has halted the vaccination of new people, keeping the few doses it still has to give second jab to patients, Aguado said.
The Madrid region has already vaccinated 180,000 people since the campaign started, he said.
“Unfortunately, as we suspected the pace of deliveries was interrupted,” he said.
Spain has administered just over 1.3 million doses to a priority group of care-home residents and front-line medics, some 10% of whom have already received a second jab.
During this first phase, the government plans to inoculate around 2.5 million people by the end of February.
Spain reported 591 deaths on Tuesday, the highest daily fatality figure of the third wave, El pais reports, amid a plateuing rise in new infections.
Tuesday’s number of new cases was 36,435, the same level seen a week ago and far from the 44,357 reported on Thursday, 21 January.
The country’s official death toll now stands at 56,799, but excess death figures suggest the real number may be closer to 80,000.
