Of this total, more than 118.000 people have already received the two doses.
This good rate of vaccination has been truncated with the decision of the pharmaceutical company Janssen to suspend the delivery that arrived today in Spain. Specific, 300.000 doses, of which almost 6.000 were destined for the Canary archipelago, to manage the septuagenarian group.
To the present, just over 6% of the Canarian target population has already received the two doses. The vaccination schedule in Canary Islands continues to be carried out in accordance with the provisions of the National Vaccination Strategy against COVID-19.

For this, there are already 250 vaccination points and more than 1.500 professionals to vaccinate.
