The Basque Government Health Advisor, Gotzone Sagardui, has anticipated that the vaccination of people over 80 will begin next week. The AstraZeneca vaccine, between 45 and 55 years old, will be one of the novelties of vaccination. In the case of people over 80, the counselor explained that this is a staggered process, starting with those over 100 years. Once vaccinated, those aged 70 to 80 years, followed by those aged 60 to 70 years with a high risk of contracting the disease.

The Department of Health began yesterday to vaccinate first-line health workers without finishing vaccinating Ertzainas, who made 275 vaccines available to health workers. In total, it is intended to vaccinate 400 ertzaines a day, until in the first phase they are immune to 4,508 ertzainas and ertzainas.

Complaints about vaccination processes

Outsourced ambulance workers in Araba, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa request the COVID-19 vaccine. The unions ELA, USO, LAB, UGT, CCOO and CNT yesterday mobilized at the door of the Donostia Hospital, where they have mobilized together. The mobilisations will continue, today they will meet in Bilbao and on 23 February in Vitoria-Gasteiz. EKAITZ TELLERIA, representative of LAB, explained that COVID-19 is "working live" and does not understand that there are no vaccines yet.

The nurses also protested, called by the SATSE union.

Amaia Mayor, secretary of the Bizkaia Union, believes that Osakidetza and the Department of Health were not prepared at the start of vaccination: "We believe that neither Osakidetza nor the Department of Health, nor the Basque Government, were willing to do esto.Empezor overnight and the organization has not been the most appropriate."
