Overview
- The San Martín vacunódromo in Vitoria began operating as a no‑appointment site on Monday, offering both flu and COVID-19 vaccines to the public.
- Osakidetza has activated one vaccination point per comarca sanitaria so people across the Basque Country can access shots locally without booking.
- Eligibility starts at six months of age, allowing both children and adults to receive their seasonal influenza and COVID-19 doses at the same visit.
- Early attendees reported much faster service and smaller crowds than last year’s mass sites, with vaccinees saying wait times were cut to minutes.
- The move builds on Osakidetza’s previous vacunódromo model used at places like La Casilla and is intended to raise coverage quickly; officials will need sustained operation across comarcas to measure longer‑term uptake.
