MADRID, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Spain's health ministry said on
Wednesday that under 55-year olds without major health
complications who contracted COVID-19 will have to wait six
months from their diagnosis before receiving a vaccine.
Justifying the decision, the ministry said cases of
reinfection within six months are "exceptional," in a document
defining the national vaccine strategy. So far, the only people
under 55 being vaccinated are health-care professionals
The measure will apply to the three vaccines currently being
distributed in Spain and is provisional pending any further
research, the ministry said.
