The rollout of the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 across Europe is under way following approval on Monday by the European Medicines Agency.
Spain received its first doses of the vaccine, a day before the country is set to begin its immunisation campaign. A refrigerated truck arrived at Pfizer's warehouse in Guadalajara in central Spain with the shipment, three days after it left the company's factory in Puurs in northeast Belgium, the health ministry said in a statement.
After repackaging, the vaccines will be redistributed to Spain's 17 autonomous regions so that vaccination can begin across the country as planned on Sunday, it added.
