Spain’s strict vaccination rollout has so far focused on older, more vulnerable groups, leaving for this summer the vaccination of teenagers and people in their 20s. New infections have also spread among teenagers as a result of trips and parties to celebrate the end of the school year. Nightlife will be completely shut down in at least 16 towns of the northern Cantabria region, which leads the nation’s infection tallies. A spike in coronavirus infections is also hitting the northeastern Catalonia region.
