In addition to boosting, the vaccination strategy also focuses on vaccinating children. 13.2% of children aged 5-11 have already received the full COVID vaccine schedule, 433,389 minors. With at least one dose, 56.8% of children of that age were found to have it. Regarding the two-dose vaccination schedule in the general population, the percentages remain practically unchanged due to the high vaccination coverage. 82.6% of citizens in Spain had at least one dose and 81%, the full guideline. Since the start of the vaccination programme, the independent communities have vaccinated 9,212,1948 million doses, 99,444 since yesterday.
