Why is vaccination in Madrid so delayed

The covid19 vaccination has had a striking characteristic in Madrid and that is its delay despite the usual triumphalism and marketing operations of the regional government. Official data indicate that as of the percentage of the population fully vaccinated in Madrid was 47.6% (country average 50.7%, Asturias maximum 62.4%) and the percentage of vaccines used over those received It was 94.6% (98.6% in the country as a whole, maximum Asturias 99.6%), with some 400,000 vaccines in the community not administered. What are the causes of this poor relative situation? Basically 3, although there are surely more that may have influenced in a minor way, such as the refusal to get vaccinated, which until now has been minimal despite what seemed to be expected, it is one thing to go out on a spree in Núñez de Balboa because They don't let you go to golf or paddle tennis and it's another matter to be consistent, because fear plays its role in everyone, even in the most ultras and deniers.

The first of course has been the privatization of an important part of the vaccination and the generous contracts that Ayuso has made with private crony companies while health centers in the public health system were denied reinforcements. Two facts confirm this, the first is that the autonomous community best placed in vaccination, Asturias, has Australia Phone Number been based on Primary Care, and the second is the extra costs that privatization entails. With the 7 million euros that Ayuso has officially given for this issue to private companies (probably more), more than 200 nursing professionals could have been hired for a year, which would have meant an increase of more than 100% in the nursing staff. this category used by private companies, and obviously having significantly increased the rate of vaccination in Primary Care. The second is the obsession with putting propaganda before effectiveness, especially focusing an important part of the vaccination in macro centers of dubious effectiveness, and with very.



Evident problems, such as the accessibility bias that involves, for example, going to Zendal from Las Rozas or Fuenlabrada and the torture of spending several hours enjoying the torrid temperatures in the Madrid summer sun, another example of Madrid that Ayuso could include among the unparalleled advantages of the region along with the CO2 inhaled in traffic jams and the ability to be infected freely in any bar. While the AP offers speed, accessibility and quality guarantees, the preference is to be able to get vaccinated at 5 in the morning at Zendal (which gives good headlines and practically no effectiveness). Everything is for the spectacle that comes before the health of the population. The third is the effort to turn Ayuso into the leader of the opposition to the central government and in the case of vaccines it is specified in promoting vaccination with Astra Zeneca, which is known to be the one that produces the lowest percentage of immunized people, and then in the stupidity of reserving vaccines for the second dose, which breaks the vaccination rate, while more and more vaccines are ordered (we already know we have to fill the refrigerators, obviously from private companies) while those that are available are not given.
