“Until the 8th of November 2021 and since the beginning of the vaccination campaign against covid-19, more than 401,500 vaccines have been administered”, says the regional health authority in a note sent to the press.
The same note recalls that since mid-October, the administration of the booster dose of the vaccine against covid-19 has been taking place in RAM, for people aged 18 years and over and with more than six months after the second dose of the vaccine.

The guardianship also leaves a “special thanks to all professionals involved in this vaccination operation and to the population for having adhered to the vaccination from the first hour”.
