We continue in Andalusia Direct, now with a curiosity.
00:03 → 00:05
Now in the middle of the flu vaccine campaign
00:05 → 00:07
and waiting anxiously for the Covid,
00:07 → 00:10
we have discovered that fish are also vaccinated
00:10 → 00:13
and that there are companies that are dedicated to this.
00:13 → 00:16
Specifically in Spain there is only one, and it is in Granada.
00:16 → 00:21
It has six vaccinators and a day can reach up to 20,000 fish.
00:21 → 00:23
Today we have met him,
00:23 → 00:27
they also do it in a fish farm in Chiclana de la Frontera.
00:27 → 00:31
I am Alejandro, I am 21 years old and I am a fish vaccinator.
00:31 → 00:33
The first thing we do is anesthetize it
00:33 → 00:36
because our first intention is that the fish
00:36 → 00:38
suffers as little stress as possible.
00:38 → 00:41
And this is being a fish anesthetist?
00:41 → 00:44
This is a position that is normally not usual.
00:44 → 00:45
We have seen it.
00:45 → 00:48
We have seen it out there, it is not usual.
00:48 → 00:50
And when they ask you what you do?
00:51 → 00:54
Well, I tell him that I vaccinate fish and they are amazed.
00:54 → 00:57
You have here what is the vaccine, right Daniel?
00:57 → 00:59
Yes, this is the vaccine bottle.
00:59 → 01:01
The injector carries a counter
01:01 → 01:05
which counts the number of fish that we are vaccinating.
01:05 → 01:08
We are the only company that vaccinates fish here in Spain.
01:08 → 01:09
Do you even go abroad?
01:09 → 01:15
Yes, normally we go to Italy, France and countries in the European Union.
01:15 → 01:17
And have you had problems even
01:17 → 01:19
at the airport security doors?
01:19 → 01:20
Yes, we have had a problem.
01:20 → 01:23
One goes with the suitcase full of syringes,
01:23 → 01:24
full of syringes.
01:24 → 01:26
Yes, of guns and needles.
01:26 → 01:30
Then they had to stop us, we have shown videos.
01:30 → 01:32
You have to show the security people
01:32 → 01:35
the videos of you working so that they believe it.
01:35 → 01:38
Yes, and many times they have laughed because they did not believe it
01:38 → 01:39
and so it has gone.
01:40 → 01:41
Germán, the rookie of the group?
01:41 → 01:42
The rookie, yes.
01:42 → 01:46
How does a kid like that end up being a fish vaccinator?
01:46 → 01:48
A friend of mine told me and here I am.
01:48 → 01:50
We do some courses before entering
01:50 → 01:54
and we teach them how to use a gun, how to catch fish and all that.
01:54 → 01:57
Ali, almost all of you are from Granada, all Andalusians.
01:57 → 01:59
Yes, all Andalusians, from the land.
01:59 → 02:01
Do you remember when they asked you as a child
02:02 → 02:04
what you wanted to be when you grew up?
02:04 → 02:06
Can you imagine what this was going to be?
02:06 → 02:09
No, not even by heart I could imagine that the job would exist.
02:09 → 02:11
Because it is a fairly precise job.
02:11 → 02:13
How many do you get to vaccinate a day?
02:13 → 02:16
Well, a day about 20,000 per head,
02:17 → 02:19
it would be about 40 per minute.
02:19 → 02:21
Oh, dear.
