The teams will reinforce vaccination against the COVID-19 pandemic within coordinated actions with the Ministry of Health to promote vaccination in people over 12 years of age who have not yet been vaccinated and in people for whom a dose is authorised booster: older than 40 years who have reached 6 months since their second dose or those who were vaccinated with Janssen.
Thus, what was agreed by the President of the Government together with the regional presidents in the Conference of Presidents held on December 22 is put into operation.
The Ministry of Defence will initially mobilise 1,000 soldiers, who will make up the initial 150 Mobile Vaccination Teams, with which the Armed Forces will support the Vaccination Plans that the Autonomous Communities have requested and the Ministry of Health has validated according to technical criteria.

In addition to these vaccination teams, Defence has made its two military hospitals available to the Communities: “Hospital Central de la Defensa Gómez Ulla, Centro Sanitario de Vida y Esperanza”, in Madrid and the “Hospital General de la Defensa” in Zaragoza. .
Precisely today, the support of the Ministry of Defence for the Vaccination Plan has already begun in Zaragoza. In the Military Hospital, 308 Aragonese have been vaccinated, and the number is expected to increase in the coming days.
