VALENCIA. (EP) The ‘president’ of the Generalitat, Ximo Puig, announced this Monday the forecast that by the end of this week 85% of the Valencian population over 12 years of age will have at least one dose and more than 70% of the complete guideline .
“We are guaranteeing the immunity of the Community that we want. Today we can say that all the people likely to be vaccinated have been cited,” he celebrated at the ‘vacunadrome’ of the Villarreal stadium.
Puig has highlighted the extension of vaccination “very especially” in the 12 to 19 age group, the last established in the vaccination program and the one with the highest incidence. He has guaranteed that all are cited, although there may be lags depending on the health areas, and has predicted that only 12-13% will remain to receive the first dose when this week ends.
From there, he has reaffirmed that the immunization process of Valencians will be completed “around October 9”, Community Day, for which he has urged those who have decided not to be vaccinated when they were summoned to go to do it in their health centers.
Puig, in statements to the media on the football field, reiterated that “the pandemic, although it is being overcome, is still there”, which is why he has called to be aware that “we have to make an important effort” .
He also thanked the president of Villarreal CF, Fernando Roig, for his generosity in participating in this vaccination process and the “effort” of the club in joining the campaign to raise awareness among young people, as well as the “understanding” in the limitation of capacity in the games.
Nerves among the first vaccinated at 12 years of age
In the ‘vaccinodrome’ of the City of Arts and Sciences of Valencia, the vaccination of adolescents and the start of immunization of 12-year-olds have continued this Monday. Some minors have come with their hands intertwined with those of their companions, parents or guardians due to their young age.
“I come from a very intense camp and I was a little nervous because I was weaker,” Jéssica, one of the young women who has received the vaccine, told Europa Press that nothing has hurt.
Regarding the organization of the ‘vaccinódromo’, Daniel, 14 years old and accompanied by his mother, has clarified that in his experience “everything has gone well” and that, as they have started to summon them now, he still does not know when they will call his friends.
Another of those mentioned today was Laura, 16, who has reaffirmed what the other young people have indicated about the organization and, likewise, has remarked on the “speed” with which the queue works to access the center. In addition, she has been surprised because she has not fainted after the puncture and has assured that she already had “enough desire” to be vaccinated.
According to the latest figures this weekend, more than 6.3 million doses have been inoculated in the Valencian Community, which means that more than three million people already have the complete vaccine schedule, almost 70% of the vaccinable population, and more than 80% have at least one dose.
