Covid-19 vaccine: As Spain s vaccine campaign rolls on, the over-70s regain lost ground | Society

Antonio and María have been waiting for the call for months. When it finally came, they couldn’t contain the tears – a mix of happiness and emotions. “We are calling you from your healthcare center, you have an appointment for a vaccination on Thursday at 9.18am.” This septuagenarian married couple are among the 3.9 million Spaniards aged 70 to 79 who have been waiting impatiently for the coronavirus vaccination program to get to them, as the process progressed among people who were older than them but also younger citizens too. Their age group is now making up for lost ground. By Friday, 37.9% of 70- to 79-year-olds had received at least one dose of the vaccine, and for the first time overtook the 60-69 age group, who are being given the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine.
