The threat of a new wave of Covid remains. Recent news of the arrival and checks of Chinese nationals in the Madrid region have alerted the health authorities and it has triggered alarms about the need to maintain vaccination campaigns. In this sense, the Community of Madrid exceeds one million booster doses against coronavirus administered to people over 80 and over 60 with chronic diseases.
“It is a significant figure, but we would like it to be higher following everything we have experienced,” said Ruiz Escudero, minister of health, in statements to the media a few days ago.
In this sense, the Public Health Commission will provide fourth dose of the anti-Covid vaccine for people under 60 who request it. The body believes that there is no contraindication so that people under the age of 60 without risk factors can wear the second booster dose against COVID-19Therefore, the vaccination campaign has been opened to those people who request it for administrative or other reasons.
The head of Health, Enrique Ruiz Escudero, acknowledged that vaccination with the second booster dose (fourth dose) “does not have the same adherence as there was in previous times”.
At the epidemiological level, the cumulative incidence of coronavirus cases stands at 200 cases per 100,000 inhabitants after fourteen days in people over the age of 60.while on Friday there were 176 hospitalizations due to covid-19 in Madrid hospitals and 16 in intensive care units (ICU), according to data provided by the councilor.
All this must not lead to a “relaxation”, because although the studies carried out by the Directorate General of Public Health reveal that the immunization level of Madrileños is “very high”, we must not let our guard down with the Covid living with it the virus influenza and respiratory syncytial virus, the leading cause of bronchiolitis.
With this new vaccination plan update, people under 60 who want to receive the second boosterwhich until now was only intended for older people, can wear it for any reason, such as traveling, working or living with people in risky conditions.
