- Spain is to set up a register of people who refuse to be vaccinated against coronavirus and share it with other European Union nations.
- Spain has been one of the countries in Europe worst affected by the virus.
- It is not a document which will be made public and it will be done with the utmost respect for data protection.
According to a recent news article published in the BBC, Spain is planning to keep a separate register of those who are unwilling and refusing to take covid vaccine.
The list would be made public
The health minister Salvador Illa said the list would not be made accessible to the public or to employers.
He said the way to defeat the virus was “to vaccinate all of us – the more the better”.
He added: “People who are offered a therapy that they refuse for any reason, it will be noted in the register… that there is no error in the system, not to have given this person the possibility of being vaccinated.”
The poll on vaccine
According to a recent poll, the number of Spanish citizens who have said they will not take the vaccine has fallen to 28% from 47% in November.
Spain is under a nationwide curfew, between 23:00 and 06:00, until early May.
In many places, people are only allowed out in that period to go to work, buy medicine, or to care for elderly people or children.
Regional leaders can modify curfew times and can also close regional borders for travel.
