The traditional family book will disappear. The civil registry will no longer issue this document with more than a century old, put into circulation during the reign of Alfonso XIII. The most preserved (and most lost) administrative document in Spanish householdss will now be replaced by an individual electronic recordl that will include the date of birth or coming of age, so that families will no longer see their story on paper.
Family books there are as many and as different as the families themselves. But without a doubt that of the Gomez Garcia, a family of A Baña, A Coruña, it must have been thick enough to include the data of his eight brothers, who have just received the coronavirus vaccine. The unusual thing about the situation is that five of them were summoned the same day to the same health center to be vaccinated.
When Spain is breaking record of inoculated vials practically every week in the vaccination campaign, Manuel, María, Digna, Aurita and Jesús received the second dose of Pfizer at the Negreira health center on the same date. Jesus, 82, the fourth of eight siblings, has assured in ‘La Ventana’ that it has been “a marvel”, and that everyone was eager to get vaccinated. “And if I can, I get vaccinated again “, Add.
“It was a coincidence, because here they distribute to Santiago and various places, but they took us all to Negreira”, explains Jesús. Given the recent statements by the BioNtech co-founder in which he acknowledged that his vaccine might need a third dose, Jesus has it very clear; he will put the third and the ones that are necessary.
Neither brother has suffered any kind of side effect, something he attributes to family genes: “We are a fairly healthy family, my grandfather died at the age of 99, and my father at 93 ”, and the climate of his area, which he defines as “Natural and wonderful.” The Gómez García already see the end of this bad dream closer, and assures that when everything is over they will “A party, big or small, it depends”, in case we forgot that Jesus is Galician.
