Abstract

Vaccination against the Covid-19 disease is shown as the only alternative that can allow us to overcome this pandemic, with the crisis not only for health, but also social and economic that it entails. However, since vaccines against Covid-19 are a scarce health resource, this requires prioritizing access to them, which has been carried out by health authorities through the Vaccination Strategy against Covid- 19 in Spain. Such Strategy can be affirmed that it constitutes an expression of the health coordination competence that in the specific framework of a health emergency such as the pandemic corresponds to the Ministry of Health and the Interterritorial Council in their coordination functions and in accordance with the provisions of the Article 65 of Law 16/2003.
