Everything to set to start mass vaccination against COVID-19 in Xàbia this week. Mayor José Chulvi and councillor Rita Berruti (Health) visited the multipurpose room in the Portal del Clot municipal buildings this morning, a facility that has been configured and prepared to administer about 700 jabs per day.
The vaccination point benefits from two car-parks in vicinity, one next to the bus station some 150m away whilst the facility actually sits on top of an underground car-park from where people with mobility issues can make use of the lift to ascend to the vaccination point whilst wheelchairs will also be made available on request at the checkpoint.
