Asturias are well on their way to overcoming the latest wave of covid, a virus that appears to have succeeded in stopping the booster vaccine that has been applied intensively in the last month to the population over the age of 70, at the same time as the influence. The Minister of Health of the Principality of Asturias, Pablo Fernández Muñiz, stressed this Wednesday after his participation in the Inter-territorial Council of the National Health System that the effectiveness of these last doses reaches 90%.
Overall, the incidence has stabilized across Spain and Asturias is no exception, with both new covid cases and severity hospitalizations decreasing. Pablo Fernández stressed that the vaccination campaign is continuing and recalled that the risk of hospitalization due to severity is 10 times higher for people without a booster dose despite the indication of him.
