What is ‘Vacunauto’?
The method Vaccinated consists of people being vaccinated without having to get out of the car. Now that they are vaccinating those over one hundred years old, those vaccinated are usually the co-pilots; and a relative or close friend, the driver of the vehicle that takes them to the vaccination point.
Before proceeding with the vaccination, they ask the person to be vaccinated if he has suffered, during the last days, any symptom related to the coronavirus such as headaches, fever or diarrhea; and in the event that the answer is negative, the dose is inoculated.
Subsequently, they have to wait around fifteen minutes in case the vaccinated person suffers negative symptoms.
If the method Vaccinated works well, Osakidetza will value extending it to new points later.
