The flu and Covid-19 vaccination campaign arrives in La Cañada

The Marbella City Council is collaborating with the Andalusian Regional Government in the flu and Covid-19 vaccination day without prior appointment ... which will take place this Saturday, December 13, at the La Cañada shopping center, from 11:30 AM to 7:30 PM. The initiative is completely free and is aimed at the entire target population using the Andalusian Public Health System.

The councilor for Health, Alejandro González, explained that the action is part of the Strategic Vaccination Plan of the Ministry of Health, which will set up 41 points throughout the autonomous community, and has encouraged all residents to participate, "since prevention continues to be the most effective tool to protect against respiratory viruses, especially in the elderly, people with pre-existing conditions, children, and pregnant women."

"The process will be supervised by healthcare personnel, nurses, and doctors, ensuring the same safety measures as in a health center"

The councilor thanked the collaboration of the Andalusian Health Service, 061, Civil Protection, Local Police, and the establishment itself, which provides its facilities to facilitate access to this measure and indicated that tents with privacy will be set up. "The process will be supervised by healthcare personnel, nurses, and doctors, ensuring the same safety measures as in a health center," González pointed out, who detailed that the vaccination point will be located next to the parking lot stairs, near the entrance closest to the Fnac store, with signage and staff to guide visitors.

More vaccinated than in 2024

Andalusia has already surpassed, in just over two months, the total number of flu vaccines administered in the entire previous vaccination campaign with 1.73 million doses, according to data from the Andalusian Regional Government. Of these, more than one million were destined for people over 60 years old, while children between 3 and 4 years old could get vaccinated at their school.
