Spain will create a registry to keep track of people who refuse a COVID-19 vaccination and will share the information with other European countries.
“In the registry, which we will share with our European partners because we are all committed to creating a COVID-19 registry, we will put those people who were offered the vaccine and refused to get it, just like is the case with other treatments,” Health Minister Salvador Illa told Spanish broadcaster La Sexta this week.
“This is not going to be a public document and will be done with the utmost respect for data protection and Spanish legislation,” he added.
