The vaccination arrives this week at people under 35 years old. Those born in 1987 and 1988 (33 and 34 years old) have already begun to make an appointment, while the vaccination of the first dose continues in people 35 years and older. Even so, appointments are opening little by little and there are several people who when trying to make an appointment did not have available hours, despite having received the SMS.
The people aged 33 and over who have not received the SMS can access the Osakidetza Prior Appointment to confirm if they have the link active. Osakidetza usually sends an SMS to citizens when they have to make an appointment, but before sending the SMS they open the appointments on their web service.
Anyone can check on the Osakidetza website if you have an active Pre-Appointment for the vaccine. If you have it, the vaccine request will appear next to the medical or nursing appointment request. Whoever does not have the application open, will only see a previous appointment for Medicine and Nursing. And he must, therefore, still wait his turn.
Vaccination data
The vaccination continues its course in the Basque Country, and more and more people are immunized. 49.6% of people over 16 years of age have already received both doses. Among those over 70 years of age, 95% have already received both doses. And among people from 50 to 59 years old they are already 78.8%.
However, the problem is in people aged 60 to 69. The second dose of Astra Zeneca is not going to anticipate. The Basque Government refuses to do so, despite the fact that many autonomous communities have announced that they will. Castilla y León, for example, will vaccinate at 8 weeks, which will allow a risk group to be immunized earlier.
Many people in this age group will receive the second dose later than their children. In fact, it is people aged 65 to 69 who will later be immunized. Councilor Gotzone Sagardui has repeatedly rejected this advance.
Vacations and vaccination
Thousands of people from Alava are already on vacation. And others will leave throughout July or August. A situation that is forcing many people to choose: delay your travels or delay vaccination. So far the degree of vaccination is being high, but in the next few days it could travel, since those who are vaccinated from next Monday will already receive the second dose in August, after weeks later.
This situation forces Osakidetza to speed up vaccination. Currently there 160,000 vaccines in stock by Osakidetza, where the 114,000 from Pfizer stand out.
The debate has also emerged in recent days: Should twenty-somethings be vaccinated earlier than thirty-somethings? An interested debate, which has generated discomfort in these ages, and which confronts two very active age groups habitually.
Covid passport
Those who want to travel can now obtain the covid passport. It can be obtained online and at the Zuzenean office in Ramiro de Maeztu, by appointment.
Online is very simple: you must enter the TIS card number, the date of birth and the first surname in this link. Thus, a key will be sent to the mobile phone which, after entering it in the web application, will be able to have the corresponding certificate.
This passport establishes if you have passed the Covid and if you are immunized. Most countries consider the immunity 15 days after the second dose. The passport does not allow access to the countries: it is an informative document. That is why it is necessary to find out about the restrictions in each country before traveling.
