The Health Area of Ibiza and Formentera has reported that, in the first two weeks of vaccination without prior appointment, 3,883 doses have already been administered against influenza and Covid-19. The campaign, which will remain active until December 22, seeks to improve vaccination coverage against these respiratory viruses, especially in the most vulnerable groups. The points set up on Saturdays at Can Misses Hospital, in building B, are open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. to facilitate access without prior appointment. In addition, specific consultations have been arranged in the health centers of the Pitiusas, with schedules adapted to serve users during the week. These measures allow residents to get vaccinated at extended hours and without the need to plan an appointment.

Vaccination booster to protect the most vulnerable

The main objective of this initiative is to protect the most vulnerable population, including people over 60 years of age, pregnant women, patients with chronic diseases, healthcare personnel, and essential service workers, among other priority groups. According to the Health Department, the immediate availability of appointments and the opening of multiple vaccination points are intended to minimize barriers and make it easier for more people to access this essential protection. Catalina Serra, Infection Control Nurse at the Health Department, emphasized that «the wide coverage and ease of access are key to reaching priority groups, which reinforces the prevention of serious complications associated with these diseases».

Walk-in vaccination at health centers

In addition to the Can Misses Hospital, the campaign has walk-in vaccination points at all health centers in Ibiza and Formentera. The specific schedules are available on the official website of the Balearic Government, where users can consult the time slots and plan their visit. It is also possible to make an appointment through the InfoSalut Connecta phone number or through the grip.caib.es website.

The Constitutional Court’s ruling on Armengol’s restrictions during the pandemic for violating fundamental rights

Agustín Sintes Vallés — Wed, 20 Nov 2024 06:11:23 +0000

The Constitutional Court (TC) has unanimously annulled several provisions of the decree-law 5/2021 of the Balearic Islands, enacted in May 2021 by the autonomous government under the presidency of Francina Armengol, considering that they violated fundamental rights by imposing restrictions such as curfew, prohibition of meetings, limitation of travel, testing of people with symptoms and mass screenings. The court emphasizes that these rights can only be regulated by an organic law approved by the Cortes Generales. The ruling responds to the appeal of unconstitutionality filed by Vox deputies, who questioned Article 1 of the decree-law, which established sanctions for non-compliance related to anti-COVID measures. According to the resolution, drafted by the magistrate Laura Díez, the provisions of the Balearic decree were «almost identical» to those of the Galician health law, which on November 5 was also declared unconstitutional.

Limitation of fundamental rights

The court states that the measures approved in the Balearic Islands affected rights enshrined in the Spanish Constitution, such as the right to life, liberty, honor, personal privacy and peaceful assembly. In addition, it declares null and void the restrictions on mobility, the curfew and the limitations on both public and private meetings. Likewise, the TC invalidates provisions that allowed the Consell de Govern Balear to suspend activities, intervene material resources and limit opening hours of establishments. It also considers unconstitutional the possibility of carrying out massive diagnostic tests or collective screening of people with symptoms of COVID-19. On the other hand, the Constitutional Court rejected the appeal in relation to paragraphs 2 and 3 of the decree-law, which reproduced measures already provided for in Organic Law 3/1986 on special measures in the field of public health. The doctrinal change of the Constitutional Court in its ruling on the Galician law of November introduced the need for a state of alarm to agree restrictions such as these, but in the Balearic case, the court has limited itself to consider the technical nature of the regulations, achieving the consensus of the 12 judges.
