New daily vaccination record as SCS administers 14,407 doses yesterday

The Canary Islands vaccination teams yesterday administered 14,407 doses of vaccines setting a new record in a single day, driven by the restart of the inoculation to teachers. The previous record was 12,760 vaccinations last Wednesday, just a week ago.

The Ministry of Education of the Canary Islands resumed the vaccination of the personnel of the educational centres yesterday, after having to stop as a precautionary measure awaiting the EMA’s verdict of the AstraZeneca vaccine.

The administration of vaccines to groups 6b and 6c, corresponding to teaching and non-teaching staff, began in the Canary Islands on March 4th and since then 10,636 professionals have been vaccinated on the islands, of which 5,983 correspond to the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and 4,653 to that of Las Palmas.
