President Armengol announced on Wednesday that three trucks are to be used for the vaccination programme.

They will have combined capacity for 60,000 doses per week, and there will be one truck for each of Mallorca, Minorca and Ibiza. They will be based in Santa Ponsa, Mahon and Sant Antoni, but depending on need, they will go to other parts of the islands.
