Easter

The number of positive cases dropped below 1,000 (981) for the first time in five days in Andalusia however the last week has seen the incidence rate climb slowly to 134,41 per 100,000 inhabitants. Huelva has also seen a slight increase in hospitalizations while intensive care numbers remain stable. There are currently 960 patients in Andalusian hospitals with Covid-19 of which 242 are in intensive care. Today there are 35 people hospitalized in Huelva hospitals of which 4 are in intensive care. In Spain there have been 7,067,371 vaccines administered since the 27th Dec 2020 and 2,505,842 people have been fully vaccinated. Andalusia leads the way both in distribution of the jab (1,472,070) and people who have complete the vaccination cycle 489,306. The majority of the vaccines distributed are Pfizer/BioNtech 5,797,545 followed by AstraZeneca/Oxford 2,060,500 and finally Moderna 650,400. Andalusia continues to lead the way in the vaccination process. Many people who have private health care here in Ayamonte have asked me what they should do to be on the register for the vaccine. As currently the vaccine is only available via the public health care system you need to register on their system. This means that the majority of people with private health care will have to fill out the form below and this will give them access to the vaccine when it corresponds. On speaking the local Health clinic in Ayamonte I was instructed that only people over the age of 70 need to currently apply as they did not expect to be vaccinating under 70’s until mid-May. Of course, all this could change as the vaccination drive is expected to ramp up with new deliveries in April.
