Just read on the TalkQuesada forum that a colleague who is 64 with no underlying medical condition, taking no medication and she has been scheduled for her first vaccine on  6 April in Torrevieja and an appt. for her follow up already given to her. 

I know of residents in Catral over 60 and 70 with lung and heart conditions and having monthly injections to help them. ...

If you are over 65 you will get your appointment as soon as they have vaccines available, you will also receive a call from your medical centre which is where your jab is most likely to be given to you to stop unnecessary travel for vulnerable people.

I think that’s for Astra Zeneca, which is only being used for those born between 1956 and 2003. The 83 year old posted will have received a different vaccine.

The initial recommendation was 3 weeks between doses. The UK decided to go to 12 weeks between doses so that they could give a larger number partial protection, rather than a smaller group fuller protection. A gap of anywhere between 3 and 12 weeks is what the UK are allowing between doses.
