We have vaccinated more people than any other community in Spain.
Andalucia has so far received 140,295 doses.
Today almost 70,000 people have been vaccinated with the first dose going to elderly in care homes, the staff and health personnel.
Only 1.6% of people have refused the vaccine.
20% of vaccines have been saved to ensure that people can receive their second dose.
It is important to retain a reserve of the vaccine to guarantee the second dose.
To create herd immunity we will have to vaccinate at least 50% of the population.
Andalucia receives 60,000 vaccines a week.
