The Minister for Universal Health and Public Health, Ana Barceló, has participated in the meeting of the Interterritorial Council of the National Health System, where it has been agreed that people under 60 years vaccinated with AstraZeneca receive a second dose of Pfizer.
However, "the Valencian Community will offer the possibility that these people can receive the second dose of AstraZeneca if they wish, and, for this, they must sign an informed consent," as Barceló has indicated.
For the preparation of this informed consent, the Ministry of Health has requested a report from the Bioethics Committee.
According to Barceló, "the Valencian Community has defended this position in the Interterritorial Council with the aim of offering the best guarantees of health to all citizens".
