The director of the CCenter for the Coordination of Health Alerts and Emergencies, Fernando Simon, has endorsed this Monday that the Spanish soccer team will be vaccinated because it is an “exception of interest” that, in his opinion, “can be contemplated”. Simón's response comes after Sergio Busquets' positive, who has modified La Roja's plans for the European Championship that begins on June 11.
Sources from the Ministry of Health have confirmed to EFE that the Public Health Commission will study tomorrow, Tuesday, the request of the Ministry of Culture and Sports so that the players of the Spanish team receive the vaccine as well as the Spanish athletes who will attend the Tokyo Games.
“It is true that we are not talking about just any football matches, many things move around and I can understand that the national team can be considered an exception of interest,” he assured at the press conference in which he gave an account of the situation epidemiological.
After making it clear that it is his personal criteria, not that of the Government, nor that of the Ministry of Health, Simón has opined that the Chief Executive, Pedro Sánchez, and the main health officials should have also been vaccinated at the beginning of the Bell. He himself, he explained, was vaccinated last Wednesday and not when essential health personnel were vaccinated.
