Spain rushes to vaccinate younger age groups as coronavirus cases rise
The rising number of contagions among young people has put the regions on alert.
Threat of delta variant
All Spanish regions are also rushing to administer the second doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccines, which are needed for full protection. This comes amid growing fears over the spread of the delta variant of the coronavirus, which was first detected in India last year and is up to 60% more contagious, according to the European Center for Disease Control and Prevention (ECDC). The ECDC forecasts that the delta strain will account for 90% of all new infections in Europe by the end of August. What’s more, according to data from authorities in the United Kingdom – where the strain is already predominant – the Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines are only 35% effective against the variant if only one dose has been administered. In the case of alpha strain, first detected in the UK, this figure is 50%.
T.H.E.Y. are so predictable. They are using this fear-porn to go after the children.
