The Canary Islands has decided to cancel this Thursday the appointments to vaccinate teachers under 60 years of age, after the Ministry of Health and the autonomous communities agreed on Wednesday night, within the plenary of the Interterritorial Council of the National Health System (CISNS), to suspend the administration of the coronavirus vaccine developed by AstraZeneca in those under 60 years of age, so it will only be inoculated to people up to 65 years of age.
In this sense, the Canary Islands Ministry of Health has indicated to Europa Press that they will have to readapt their calendar after this decision.
For his part, the director of the Canary Islands Health Service (SCS), Conrado Domínguez, has stated in statements in a regional media outlet, collected by Europa Press, that vaccination will now be intensified in people between 60 and 65 years of age, a group that was already being vaccinated with AstraZeneca.
Finally, the SCS vaccination services inoculated 14,407 doses during Wednesday.
