MADRID, Jan. 27 (Xinhua) -- The government of the Community of Madrid on Wednesday confirmed that the region is putting on hold giving the first shot of COVID-19 vaccine for two weeks as it's running out of doses.

Speaking at a press conference, Ignacio Aguado, the deputy leader of the region with more than 6 million inhabitants, said the region's health authority would use its remaining BioNtech-Pfizer doses to give the second jab to people who had already received the first one.
