ARCHIVED - Walk-in Covid jabs at Orihuela Costa shopping centre: December 7
La Zenia Boulevard in the Vega Baja, Alicante province, is hosting a mass vaccination without appointment session for people aged 12 and over
Torrevieja Health Department, in partnership with Orihuela Health Department, is offering walk-in Covid jabs without prior appointment, at La Zenia Boulevard Shopping Centre between 10am and 8pm on Tuesday December 7.
"As is the case in the country as a whole, the 14-day cumulative incidence rate will soon exceed the high-risk threshold and the indicators of positivity, hospital admissions and new isolated variants do not paint a very promising picture in the short term," said the town hall in a statement.
In addition, the health department has stressed that the first vaccination of healthcare professionals was carried out more than 10 months ago, and recent studies show that the effectiveness of the vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 is "less effective three to six months after full vaccination".
"For these reasons we are appealing to people who have not yet been vaccinated to come to the shopping centre for their own sake and for the sake of everyone else," added the local authority.
