ARCHIVED - Spain vaccination update September 20: 75.9 per cent of population now fully vaccinated
More than 36 million people in Spain have now received two doses of the coronavirus vaccine
The latest data released by Spain’s Ministry of Health on Monday September 20 show that 75.9% of the population has now been fully immunised against coronavirus, a total of 36,005,546 people. In addition, 78.9% or 37,452,529 people have received at least one dose of the Covid jab.
The cumulative incidence rate in Spain is now at its lowest level since August 2020 at 83 cases per 100,000 inhabitants and as the vaccination campaign continues at a good pace, that number is expected to fall further as the week goes on. In addition, the government has now committed to administering a third ‘booster’ dose of the vaccine to older people living in care homes, as well as to people with compromised immune systems and those undergoing certain types of cancer treatment.
The additional dose should bring this population’s immunity up to the same level as a low risk person with two jabs, resulting in the amount of daily coronavirus infections dropping even further.
Fully vaccinated by age group
- 80 +: 100% / 2,897,842 people
- 70 to 79: 98.7% / 3,908,526 people
- 60 to 69: 96.8% / 5,168,247 people
- 50 to 59: 93.2% / 6,556,978 people
- 40 to 49: 85.6% / 6,751,824 people
- 30 to 39: 72.6% / 4,525,384 people
- 20 to 29: 71.2% / 3,519,699 people
- 12 to 19: 68.8% / 2,677,046 people
Now that colleges and schools are back in full swing, the vaccination rate of the youngest group has considerably slowed down, and 31.2% of those aged between 12 and 19 years are still not fully immunised. However, a total of 81.3% have so far received one dose.
Asturias, which this week became the first autonomous community in the country to enter into the ‘new normal’ level with a 14-day incidence rate of just 21.89 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, has fully vaccinated 83.3% of its population, with an impressive 81.7% of 12 to 19s now double jabbed.
Unsurprisingly, those under the age of 12 are now presenting the highest cumulative incidence rate in all of Spain, given that a decision hasn’t yet been made as to whether or not younger children should be vaccinated against coronavirus.
