In great news for the vaccine programme, Almeria reaches 50,000 Covid vaccinations in a single week.

Most people these days know many people who have had their vaccinations even if it is only the first one. Almost 40 per cent of Almeria’s population have now received at least a single dose of the coronavirus vaccine from Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca or Janssen according to data released on Monday by the Andalusian Regional Ministry of Health and Families.

In Almeria alone 275,299 people have received a single dose of one of the coronavirus vaccines which means they are partially immunised against the potentially deadly virus. This figure represents 37.8 per cent of Almeria’s population.
