Spain will start inoculating its population against Covid-19 on December 27, as was announced on Friday by Spanish health minister Salvador Illa.

This comes a day after the European Commission announced an EU-wide plan to begin its vaccination campaign before the end of the year.

"If Europe has agreed, as we demanded, to begin inoculating the population between December 27 and 29, Spain will start to do so on the first day possible, on the 27th," he said.
