The RFEF has received a call from Moncloa in which it has been reported that the idea that the Government of Spain now has is to vaccinate the players of the National Team during this week , as long as there are no more positives. The Executive led by Pedro Sánchez has done what is known as the removal of forgiveness and, after refusing at first, now he is willing to immunize Luis Enrique’s men. However, the anger in the Federation is still great for not having made the decision before and having avoided the mess formed after the positive of Busquets.
Although the decision comes late, the RFEF hopes that between Thursday or Friday all the players, the coaching staff and the rest of the staff close to the Spanish team will have received the dose. Taking into account the deadlines, the normal thing is that the Ministry of Health opts for the Janssen vaccine , which is a single dose, so as not to have to wait 21 days for a second in the middle of the championship. This is the vaccine that is being administered to the age groups between 40 and 49 years old.
Other countries such as France, Italy and Belgium did vaccinate their internationals with foresight to face the Eurocup . The RFEF did want to do it, but it found the braking of Carolina Darias, Minister of Health. Now, Sergio Busquets’ positive has caused the Federation’s anger to grow, although it has also helped the Government to rectify its decision.
It should be remembered that the Spanish athletes who will participate in the Tokyo Olympics have been vaccinated . In fact, even those who still do not have a fixed place have already received their dose. Also all the personar of the Spanish delegation that will travel to Japan.
