Vaccine

Hell Maggie

If you are registered at your local Health Clinic & both have SIP cards, just sit tight & wait and you will be contacted. My clinic in La Mata are now vaccinating people 80yrs & over.

5 years of living here has taught me never, ever look for any logic in Spanish bureaucracy.

Hello

Hello TP20

In my early days here (17yrs ago) the lack of 'common sense' decisions amazed me.....Not putting up notices in health centres/shops/bus stations  etc when everyones asking the same question !! 

It's  never changed & it's something you get used to  but  it will never ever make sense.

Hi  thanks for your reply i will learn to be patient  but was so worried that I had missed something about this but at least I know they have started now thanks again x

The following was in 'El Pais in English' on the 17th February:   

Different regions of Spain are proceeding at different speeds. For now, seven have begun immunizing the 80-and-over population, while most are still working on the Phase 1 priority groups: residents and workers of care facilities, health personnel and people with need for daily assistance who do not live in a care home Meanwhile, essential workers under 55 are also getting immunized with the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine.

What I struggle with is Spains can't do attitude, it pervades every area of Spanish life and is not a good look, it makes Spain feel like a 3rd world country.

Spain offers no encouragement to people wanting to start a business, in fact it does everything it can to stop entrepreneurs. It's not surprising that it's a poor country and always will be. 

'nuff said!

Maybe check the facts before posting?

Did some people just come to Spain to complain about “how things are done in Spain”! Spain is not good old blighty and never will be, they do things their way and always will complaining about it everyday on every other post here will not change that!

For whatever it's worth, I saw my nurse at Cabo Roig yesterday and he said that they are currently vaccinating the over 85s. Next week they will move to those aged 84.
