ARCHIVED - Record vaccination weekend in Spain with 1.25 million more jabs administered
41.7 per cent of the population of Spain have received at least one Covid vaccine dose
The coronavirus immunization campaign in Spain continues to progress with impressive speed following a shaky start earlier in the year, and over the weekend of 4th to 6th June the government reports that a further 1.25 million doses were administered, bringing the total so far up to just over 30 million.
As a result, 19.78 million people in this country have now received at least one dose of the Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca or Janssen vaccines, representing 41.7 per cent of the population, and just over 11 million have completed the immunization process (23.2 per cent of the population).
People to have received at least one dose: 19,786,574 (41.7 per cent of the population)
People fully vaccinated: 11,002,869 (23.2 per cent)
Among the population aged over 50, the proportion of people to have received at least one dose has risen to 88.8 per cent, while just under half of those in this group (49.4 per cent) have completed the immunization process.
There are still noticeable variations among the speeds of vaccination in Spain’s 17 regions: for example, in Asturias the proportion of over-16s to have received at least one dose has risen to 58.4 per cent, while in the Balearics the equivalent figure stands at just 44.2 per cent.
In terms of those who have received the full immunization treatment, the percentages range from 20.6 per cent in the Balearics to 36.2 per cent in Asturias.
