Hi, had my Pfizer last week, have heard need 3 weeks in between 1st and 2nd jab, had to go and get my jab, so assume will need to go back in 3 weeks to get my 2nd, has anyone had this problem? So disorganized here.!

My appointment for my 2nd Pfizer vaccination at Pilar has been changed same day but different time.

Another poster today advised their appointment in Pilar and that of a neighbour has been changed from tomorrow to Wednesday.

The 1st vaccination I had at Torrevieja was very well organised, just hope the that the authorities are not going to mess it up, the change does not fill me with confidence that it is as well organised in Pilar.

I personally think they have done a great job here, just very grateful that I’ve been included as I only have Private Health Ins, second jab 30th June.

I totally disagree with you . Vaccine roll out is highly organized and works really well . 

Not for me and some others it didn't, had to go to salud twice, with an interpreter which cost, because they kept on making excuses, and wrong information, consequences I only just got my jab, I'm 74, but my doctors in GB have been phoning me since April, for my jab.!!

Hi yes that's the problem, I hear people with private health care getting jabs, but residents like me, entitled to health care, get sidelined, I'm 74 and had to go and find a jab, and I'm not alone, total disorganisation!

That is not true . In the Valencian community anybody who registers with their local health centre will get a vaccine . Rather than being critical of the system I think we should be grateful to receive a vaccine .

I don't, I've paid my dues, I'm just as entitled as anyone else, and I am registered with the Salud, they just don't know what they are doing, giving people wrong info. Sand I'm not alone, there are so many Brits that have the same problem.,,!

I had to register for a temporary Sip Card in order to get the vaccine . There was no problem or confusion. I found the staff in the Health Centre polite and efficent . I do speak Spanish so maybe that helped

Yes possibly, I went in with my daughter to ask showed my TIE card as a resident, and reception said I needed a EHIC card, which I now know is rubbish, through my solicitor who I've known for years, sent me back with her assistant, what a change, because I'm 74 had an appt. in Torrevieja next day, that should have happened first time. Others had the same problem there, one lady actually went to the vacuna station in Torrevieja, and got the jab for her & her husband right away, he was 76, never got help from Quiron salud, shocking.

You must have had your vaccine then there are a lot of us 60 and over who haven't even had an appointment yet. I am going to my health centre tomorrow for the 3rd time and if l don't get any help there to get an appointment l am going straight to Torre.
