The Ministry of Health of the Junta de Andalucía is waiting to have guidelines from the Public Health Commission to close the covid-19 vaccination schedule, with booster doses for immunosuppressed people and those aged between 60 and 65 years.
This has been indicated by its owner, Catalina García, in Huelma (Jaén) –where she has participated in the XXXVIII Trade Fair of the Sierra Mágina Natural Park, Expohuelma 2023– and to questions from journalists about the situation of the aforementioned virus.
He has pointed out that “there is a rebound in covid cases at the national level and, of course, also in Andalusia”, at which point he added that “social interaction” that can take place more in summer, with holidays and widespread parties, “It makes the cases go up.”
In any case, he has assessed that “the important thing is that 94.7 percent of residential centers in Andalusia are free of covid” and, despite the fact that the mask is no longer mandatory, it has influenced the recommendation to use it, with “instruction both in residential centers and in health centers” in Andalusia.
It is about, as he commented, being “cautious because the covid continues to exist and the most vulnerable people are most affected.” “It is now our individual responsibility to be able to preserve the health of many of our vulnerable people,” García said.
In addition, as the counselor has added, they are waiting for “the meeting of the Public Health Commission at the Ministry level, which must be held at the beginning of September, to close the vaccination”, which “will be accompanied by the vaccination of the flu.”
“What is being decided at this moment is which vaccine is going to be to cover the sublineages, which right now are the ones that are circulating. And we are waiting for that, that the Public Health Commission will ultimately decide what type of vaccine will be used. is going to vaccinate again, because it is going to be done, the immunosuppressed and older between 60 and 65 years old,” he explained.
