Armed with gloves and umbrellas, dozens of people queued this morning to access the vaccination point of the Father Claret avenue, where the administration of the third dose against the Covid-19 and the flu vaccine for people registered in the basic health zones of Segovia I, II and III, San Ildefonso and Rural Segovia.
The long lines in the open have caused the indignation of some neighbors, who have circulated through social networks and different groups of WhatsApp photographs of elderly people waiting at the entrance of the old Covid center, now converted into a vaccination point. “First day of DANA in Segovia. Dozens of older people queuing“, Has shared Guillermo San Juan, spokesperson for Podemos in the Segovia City Council, in his profile of Facebook.
“We believe that health centers would be ideal points for this new vaccination plan, but the Delegate of the Junta de Castilla y León in Segovia continues to bet that people queue outdoors in a private premises rented from a colleague of his from the Popular Party“, Has criticized the San Juan.
Sources of the Segovia Healthcare Management have explained to this newspaper that the queues are due to the fact that some of these people go to the vaccination point without prior appointment, that is, without going through the system of autocita, necessary procedure to organize the administration of the doses in different time bands. These people, all of them elderly, mostly attend first thing in the morning, when the longest waits occur, according to these sources.
Last week, the Management announced that it was increasing the vaccination lines established at this vaccination point from three to four in order to avoid crowds. However, the measure has not achieved the desired effect due to the large influx of people, who, in some cases, have endured queues of up to 40 minutes, as some users have declared to the microphones of Radio Segovia.
For this week, at the vaccination point in the capital, located on Avenida Padre Claret, only the people born in 1946 and previous years who have requested an appointment through the self-appointment system.
