AstraZeneca vaccine will be taken by people over 60 in Spain.
Spain’s Health Ministry has again changed its strategy for administering the AstraZeneca vaccine, announcing late Wednesday that it will only give the jab to people older than 60 following rare cases of blood clots in younger people who received the vaccine.
But Spain has only approved the coronavirus vaccine for people younger than 65 years old and essential workers.
That means the vaccine is now limited to people between the ages of 60 and 65, but Health Minister Carolina Darias said Spain’s Public Health Commission will decide Thursday whether to give the jabs to people older than 65.
