Spain - Leader of Europe Vaccination drive

Right from the beginning of the eruption of coronavirus, the United Kingdom responded quickly to the pandemic in Europe. The nation's first initiative to make vaccination with the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine is being manufactured locally in India by Serum Institute of India. 

After that the UK procured the majority of vaccines and gave first preference in vaccinating citizens. But when we see the numbers in vaccination, the UK comes in second in the EU. Spain is the first nation which completed the highest % of vaccination in Europe.

After a slow start of the vaccination campaign Spain embarked on a smooth inoculation and completed 73% of its population. The United Kingdom has completed 69% of the vaccination and stands at second in Europe. Compared with Germany and France, people in Spain are willing to be inoculated against covid-19. Unlike fellow nations in Europe, Spain has not struggled to convince it’s people to get the jab. Spain has been successful in educating the people on vaccination and it will clear the doubts of many about the vaccines. This made many people in Spain trust vaccines. Spain's traumatic experience with the polio vaccine in the 60's also helps explain why Spaniards are keen on immunization.

One of the reasons for Spain's successful vaccine drive is trust in the health system. Spain’s health service has had no difficulty in getting people for vaccination. The nation has been spared the large protests seen in France and Italy against mandatory vaccines for health care workers, and the creation of a health pass giving them access to routine activities such as dining indoors. Spain has imposed some rules on the holiday. On top of the negative test or proof of vaccination, you must complete a health control form within 48 hours of travelling to Spain by air or sea.
