The residents of Almuñécar and La Herradura are being called to attending vaccination appointments at municipal stadium, Francisco Bonet.
The facilities, which were turned over a for mass-vaccination programme on Wednesday, will also be processing Jete, Otívar and Lentegí as they also form part of the mini health area of Río Verde.
The ages of those being called are from 74 to 79, who are receiving the Pfizer vaccine. People are being given appointments from 09.00h until 14.00h.
This campaign is running parallel to those being called for appointments at the local medical centre both in the morning as well as the afternoon.
On the first day, around 100 were vaccinated in the sports stadium and another 200 at the medical centre, so it is going well, it seems.
It is envisaged that tomorrow, Friday, the stadium will have three lines operating, which entails medical staff being transferred from elsewhere for the task.
Almuñécar and Motril have both adapted their sports stadiums for mass vaccination programmes, which are being dubbed as vacunódromos (vaccinadromes). The same sort of arrangement will be taking places in Cádiar, Órgiva and Albuñol.

Still no call (Monday) passed by the stadium at midday, only 4 people there and nobody queing. What is happen?
Dee: They will loop back around again once they get to the end to pick up the ones they’ve missed.
Why aren’t we allowed to vaccinate anyone when the current wave seems to be so infectious? The goals should simply be show up at the end of a daily drive and what vaccines are left will be placed in the arms of our residents. The longer it takes to inoculate our citizens the larger the risk of a summer without tourism.
I realize we have a program of sending people appointment messages to get their vaccines but here is the rub, we all, including health officials want everyone to get vaccinated. Now when I went to the stadium I noticed no more than 12 people and no lines to get in yet I was turned away for not having a number. I have been here for three years and have never issued my phone number to anyone or any official so how do I get my turn at a vaccine.?
What if I miss the call or do not get one. I am 74.
Re: Salobrena vaccinations. My husband who is 76 is having his jab tomorrow, so it is underway.
Any idea Martin when Salobrena will start with the vaccinations for over 70s
Lovely to hear such positive news 😂
