ARCHIVED - Almost a quarter of the Murcia population have received first Covid jab
The figures are rising but still lag behind those in other parts of Spain
The surge in coronavirus vaccination in Murcia is leading to significant increases in the number of people to have received their first and second jabs, although by most measures the Region is still lagging behind other parts of Spain in terms of the proportion of the population to have received protection.
The latest Ministry of Health data show that 149,216 people in the Region of Murcia, or 9.9 per cent of the population, have received both doses of the Pfizer, Moderna or AstraZeneca products or the single—dose Janssen vaccine, and that the proportion to have received at least one dose has risen to 24.2 per cent (or 365,000 people). These figures are encouraging, but are well below the nationwide averages of 13.1 per cent and 29.1 per cent respectively.
A similar picture can be seen within varoious of the different age groups specified in the Ministry data. For example, while in Galicia 86 per cent of people in their sixties have received their first jab and the average in this group is 74.6 per cent, in Murcia the equivalent proportion is 66 per cent (only the Comunidad Valenciana is lower, at 62 per cent).
On the other hand, for those aged between 50 and 59 the figure in Murcia is 16.9 per cent, a point above the national average, with the mass campaign for 50-somethings having begun at the end of last week, and it can only be assumed that the discrepancies among the different regions of Spain will begin to disappear as further progress is made in the coming weeks.
