Spain will use AstraZeneca vaccine for essential workers over 65
The Peninsula
MADRID: Spain has decided to extend AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccination to essential workers over 65 years old to protect a small group of people who have not yet retired, the health ministry said on Wednesday.
A number of other European countries have gone further and lifted the age limit altogether, or, like in Germany, are now giving the AstraZeneca vaccine primarily to older people. The age cap had been imposed because early clinical trials had featured very few people 65 or older.More Related News
