GESY - VACCINATION APPOINTMENT PORTAL - Disclaimer on site and correct phone no to ring

 


This is the disclaimer on the vaccine appointment booking site that you need to be aware of and may need to consult your physician for advice/confirmation:


I intend to arrange my COVID-19 vaccination appointment online. The vaccine is used to prevent from COVID-19 disease. It stimulates the body’s natural production of antibodies and the immune system’s response for the protection against the disease.


By arranging this appointment, I hereby confirm that:

  • I fully understand the benefits of vaccination and the risks of non-vaccination. As for all medicines and vaccines, the COVID-19 vaccine is likely to cause side effects, most of which are mild, of short duration and do not occur in all people.
  • I understand that in the rare case of anaphylaxis, emergency treatment will be provided to me.
  • I understand that I cannot take the vaccine if I am allergic to any of the active substances of the vaccine or any of its other ingredients.

 

I understand that I cannot proceed with the arrangement of a vaccination appointment and with my vaccination for COVID-19 if I do not firstly consult my Personal Doctor, in case that I have at least one of the symptoms below:

  • Weakened immunization system, as a result of HIV infection or because of a medicine that I take and which infects my immune system.
  • Bleeding problems, easily bruising or use of anticoagulants.
  • I have had a severe allergic reaction in the past.
  • I am taking or having taken any other medicines or vaccines recently.

 

 

Further if you are trying to make an appointment, it seems that the system lets you get so far then tells you to ring a number for an appointment.  The number shown is incorrect - the correct one should be  26 803370.   However, there are reports that this number is not being answered.
