A 75-year-old man who had received the full course of vaccination against Covid and had no previous pathologies has died in Tenerife as a result of this disease. In this regard, the Ministry of Health points out that he could have contracted it before receiving the second dose of Pfizer, when he did not have all the immunity provided by the vaccine.
"He started with symptoms a few days before," they told La Voz. However, they have not clarified why that second dose was administered to him then, since when there are symptoms that may be compatible with the disease, vaccination is postponed. In this case, they point out that it could be because the patient had not communicated it and that he reported those symptoms later.
It should be remembered that last week a 60-year-old woman who had been vaccinated also died in Gran Canaria, although in this case she had only received the first dose and had serious previous pathologies, according to the Ministry.
In addition to the death registered in Tenerife, the Canary Islands has added 107 new Covid positives in the last day, bringing the accumulated cases to 55,644 since the beginning of the pandemic.

The cumulative incidence at 7 days in the Canary Islands is 39.39 cases per 100,000 inhabitants and at 14 days in 81.48 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.
