Why Is Spain Refusing The Vaccine?

-

Spain is one of the worst hit European nations by the Covid-19 virus in the world 



It is not just Hungary but Spain has refused immunization vaccination to curb the spread of Corona virus. Now, the Spanish health ministry has decided to set up a register of people who refuse to be vaccinated against coronavirus. They intend to then share it with other European Union nations.

 

While Hungary has had its reason due to the whimsical attitude of their leadership, Spain had almost 47percent people refusing to use the vaccine in November 2020. The statistics have now come down to 28percent.

According to Health Minister Salvador Illa receiving the vaccine would be a voluntary process in which citizens are called up for their doses, free of charge, by the country's national health system.

 

Having said that, the fact that a register is going to be used, is still a forced decision to record the names of all those who have not agreed to get themselves immunized. While Mr. Illa does say that it is a voluntary decision to get inoculation shots, the whole process would lead to lack of privacy.

 

According to the John Hopkins University tracker, Spain is one of the countries hit hardest by the coronavirus. It has recorded almost 1.9 million cases, and, as of December 30, more than 50,000 people in the country with the virus have already lost their lives.

People are to be immunized through the approved Pfizer and BioNtech vaccine in two dose methods.  The country is still under lockdown and has restricted movement and curfew in place.

The Spanish government aims to vaccinate between 15 million and 20 million people in the first half of 2021. There is general skepticism in a few European Union countries about vaccination, with exception to the Hungarian population that had been waiting for a go-ahead by the European Commission over the best vaccine option.
