The pharmacy need a prescription from the Dr. Mine said she had never heard of this and refused to give me one.
Some pharmacies sell Flu vaccine without a prescription.
We got ours in Los Altos. About 9e.
We went to private doctor for the injection. No charge for that as we have health insurance with Salus.
I understand the pharmacy in Punta Prima provide the vaccine and nurse injects it. Don't know the price but think it was about 20e
Went into our clinic in Quesada, no problem come back in three days. Given booster there and then plus flu for good measure. It can only be where you live.

No idea why so many people are having blood tests (if they are), but it’s nothing to do with covid booster jabs, or flu jabs? . Incidentally, you should also have your flu jab if it’s offered. The new strain of corona virus is going to make things difficult from now on, for us all. No r...

...eported cases in the UK as yet, but it’s inevitable. A couple in Europe, so let’s see. Personally I don’t panic, nor make knee jerk reactions, but do remain sensible and don’t drop my guard. There are so many idiots who think it’s all over and all is back to normal, it’s never going back to normal. We must all use common sense and be as careful as possible. Again, why Spain is now behind with booster vaccinations, I have no answer to that. So far Spain has done well, but things can change overnight. Boosters are totally necessary, and will make all the difference. Until we need the next one ! most likely modified, but it’s an ongoing situation.
The blood tests are to check for all kinds of ailments and is almost standard procedure in Spain to check for conditions that require treatment.
It seems that different regions have different speeds in roll outs of vaccines,here in Benidorm we have had both the booster and flu jabs two weeks ago ,very efficient

Good morning
Is it at least 5 months since your second or last covid vaccine?
Or 6 months post Covid infection?
Those are the guidelines for administering Covid Booster shot.
Otherwise as others have said, some areas seem to be overwhelmed by demand.
Try to make a written complaint/request. Something positive may happen if enough people make valid complaints.
Hopefully more spaces become available soon.

One of the reasons for such late appointments at Cabo Roig clinic is because they are not giving the over 70's their flu jab and covid booster together like the rest of Valencia. There are notices up in the centre saying that patients must get a blood test and an ECG once a year and to make...

... an appointment with the nurse. This might answer the question why so many are having blood tests.
I'm due my last mammogram before I'm 70. Can't get that and never got sent for a smear test for the 15 years I've been here. Had to pay. They are blood test mad here you get one for everything! I'm not over hopeful of ever getting called for an ecg !!! I have never had the flu jab and certainly wouldn't have it with the booster. Too much for the body !!!
