The Spanish government expects to pursue its vaccination campaign against the coronavirus in 2022 and 2023, and is considering a third shot, Health Minister Carolina Darias said on Friday.
"Everything points to a yes," Darias said in an interview with the Spanish Onda Cero broadcaster when asked if further vaccination of the population would be necessary in the following years.
She added that Spain had already secured Pfizer vaccine shots worth 1.8 billion euros ($2.1 billion), and Moderna doses for over 450 million euros for 2022 and 2023, the minister went on, adding that the authorities intended to administer a third vaccine dose to the country's citizens. However, the government has yet to decide when the measure may be taken, she added.
