The progressive slowdown that is being given in these last weeks of the immunization process is also noticed in the reserves of vaccines of the autonomies, which rather than diminish, in some cases even increases.
Thus, it is given the situation that currently, according to the latest data from the Ministry of Health, there are about six million doses in the refrigerators of the vacuum centers.
Depending on the region, the unused vaccine figures can vary a lot, up to more than one million.

“We have 400 vaccine centers, which means that less than 20 vials have been expired by center,” said the Secretary of Public Health during the appearance.
