Over the past week, 43% of people having their first dose of vaccine did not have appointments. Of 9,567 people who were vaccinated for the first time between Wednesday last week and Tuesday this week, 4,146 did not have appointments.

The Balearic health ministry introduced the scheme of not requiring an appointment as a way of encouraging more people to get vaccinated. It says that the numbers are proof of how well this scheme has been received. It has been extended until the end of the month.
