Abstract

The Spanish Vaccination Strategy against COVID-19 has been prepared by a multidisciplinary Technical Working Group. It has considered the situation of the different socio-occupational groups against COVID-19, having assessed the criteria of risk of exposure, transmission, serious illness and death, negative social and economic impact, feasibility and acceptability of vaccination, in addition to taking into consideration the ethical pillars that govern the Strategy. In the working population, priority has been given to first-line health and social-healthcare personnel in the first stage and, later, to the rest of healthcare and social-healthcare personnel (Groups 1, 2 and 3 of the Strategy). Group 6 included emergency personnel, security and army forces, and early childhood, special, primary and secondary education teaching personnel, due to the role that they played during the state of alarm, the significant risk of exposure, and the essential role they play in maintaining the proper functioning of society. This paper describes the stages of vaccination and their prioritization by groups in the labour context, and shows the strategy by age groups, together with the prioritization of Group 6, has been shown to be efficient and to reach workers with high risk of COVID-19 early.
