From. Informacion Covid19 Almeria. Third Vaccine Update. The EMA authorizes the third Pfizer puncture for those over 18 years of age. The more than 35.2 million Spaniards over 18 years of age who have already completed the schedule or who are still in it will be called again over the next half year to receive the third dose of the covid vaccine, which in all cases will be from Pfizer, regardless of the prophylaxis they received the first time. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has authorized this Monday the administration in the 27 of the "additional" intake ('booster') to all the adults of the formula of the German-American consortium. That - recognized on Monday officials of the department headed by Carolina Darias - was the signal that Health was waiting to immediately launch the revaccination campaign this month of October, starting with the oldest age groups. The Committee for Human Medicines (CHMP) of the EMA, which since September 6 was immersed in an "accelerated evaluation" of the request of the North American giant, resolved in its meeting today that the data from Pfizer indeed "shows an increase in antibody levels when a booster dose is given approximately 6 months after the second dose in people aged 18 to 55 years. Therefore, the committee concluded "that booster doses can be considered at least 6 months after the second dose for people 18 years of age and older." In other words, the green light for universal revaccination of adults, regardless of their health status or whether they are groups more or less exposed to the virus. A decision that, the regulator recalls, will be the responsibility of the health authorities of each country.
