A third dose is given to those over 86 on walk-in

Pending the setting of the Vaccination Portal, so that the beneficiaries can arrange a vaccination appointment with the 3^η dose of vaccine against COVID-19, based on age criteria, the Ministry of Health provides services to citizens aged 86 and over through free-range vaccination centers (walk-in) from Wednesday, September 22, 2021. MRNA vaccines (Pfizer / BioNTech and Moderna) will be given for the booster dose, regardless of the vaccine given at the initial vaccination.

Free-flow vaccination centers for 3^η dose will work at the following points, from Monday to Thursday, from 8 in the morning until 1 at noon:

It is emphasized that the Ministry of Health has taken care of and ensured sufficient quantities of vaccines for all those who choose to be vaccinated with 3^η dose. Therefore, Citizens are encouraged to attend all the opening hours of the Centers, in order to limit their waiting time at the Vaccination Center and to avoid inconvenience. It is reminded that all citizens must present an identification document (ID, Passport, Alien Registration Card, etc).

It is clarified that, according to the attendance that will be observed, the age of the beneficiaries will be gradually reduced. Citizens are invited to follow the announcements that will be issued by the Ministry of Health with the age groups that will have priority.

It is recalled that beneficiaries for vaccination with booster dose are those citizens who have completed their vaccination regimen (vaccination with 2^η vaccine dose) by 31 March 2021 and fall into the age group. For example, people who are 86 years of age or older but have not been vaccinated for 2 months^η dose, can not take 3^η dose at this stage.

Finally, it is noted that the possibility of arranging an appointment for 3^η Dose through the Vaccination Portal is expected to be available in early October and will be updated.
