The Ministry of Health in the Canary Islands has already administered 367,425 doses of vaccines against COVID-19, of which 12,618 were inoculated yesterday, despite the change in the AstraZeneca vaccine schedule and the immediate reorganization of the appointments. Of the total doses used from the three laboratories approved by the European Medicines Agency, 258,677 were from Pfizer, 21,953 from Moderna and 86,795 from AstraZeneca.
In addition, until yesterday, the immunization of 116,025 people had already been achieved in the Canary Islands, who have already received the two doses of the vaccine, which represents 6.2% of the target population (1,871,033 people).
