Filenews 7 December 2021
Vaccination with a booster/3rd dose for people aged 18 years and over starts tomorrow, provided that a period of six months has elapsed since the completion of their vaccination regimen (2nd dose in the case of Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna and AstraZeneca vaccines or one dose of the Johnson&Johnson vaccine). The decision was taken by the Council of Ministers on 15 November with the aim of shielding the adult population.
For better service, beneficiaries will be able, from December 8, to arrange an appointment through the Vaccination Portal or be served through the free-to-go vaccination centres (walk-in), without arranging an appointment in advance.
The walk-in centres are open in all provinces, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
For people who have received the Johnson's single-way vaccine &Johnson the service is only at the walk-in vaccination centres [ie you cannot book on the portal].
The vaccination of citizens who are not registered in the GHS software is carried out every Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
