The president of the Canary Islands, Ángel Víctor Torres, wanted to send this Friday a message of "tranquility" to those who have been inoculated with the first dose of AstraZeneca and still do not know what will happen with the second dose.
In this sense, Torres has stressed that those who have been inoculated with the first dose of AstraZeneca "have spent a few days in most cases." "If there was going to be any side effects, it already happened, if it didn't, that person is already vaccinated and can have an effectiveness of more than 70 percent," he said.
In this way, he indicated to journalists during an act with the president of Castilla-La Mancha, Emiliano García-Page, that whoever has the first dose of AstraZeneca "is preserved against any other person who has not been vaccinated against Covid. Therefore, be calm."
Regarding the second dose, he pointed out that studies are currently being carried out on whether there is a possibility that another vaccine will be administered when the time comes, although he has clarified that the second AstraZeneca vaccine "has a fairly high time frame."
Likewise, he added that "no person who has been vaccinated with the first dose will be left without the second when the time comes, whether it is from AstraZeneca if the European agency admits it or another."
Finally, Torres pointed out that any decision adopted by the communities or governments in relation to vaccination must be subject to the European Medicines Agency, hence he stressed that both the acquisition and distribution of vaccines "must pass some mandatory technical approvals", concluding that all those that can be added, "welcome be."
