The campaign for the fourth Covid Jab, which will be for people over 80 living in retirement homes, will commence on the 26th of this month.

The yearly, flu-jab campaign, on the other hand, will begin on the 17th of October.

In a communiqué, the Minister of Public Health announced that today the first batch of vaccines adapted to the Omicron variant will arrive and be distributed next week in all the different regions of Spain.

According to the Ministry’s calculations, ten-million doses will arrive from the Pfizer and Moderna laboratories.

Editorial comment: this jab is for people in their 80s living in homes for the elderly – it is not widely available and is not obligatory.
