Does anyone know where you can get a flu injection. I have asked at a number of pharmacies but they all say they cannot provide one. We are willing to pay but just dont know where to go. Any advice would be appreciated
Many thanks
Kathy

Are you registered with a Centro Salud?
Or visiting up to 90 days?

Sorry, I can't help any further.
If you have applied for Residencia you would have private health insurance or an S1 and in those circumstances would be able to get a jab if you're in a risk age group.
Hello
This is a private clinic in Gandia, the same clinic in Torrevieja were doing flu vacines
recently & I hope they still are...give your local branch a call & see if they can help

We have private health insurance (doesn't cover vaccinations).
We have made appointments with GP at Quiron hospital, Torrevieja and hope to be given the prescription and then be given the jab.
A translator at the hospital told me this was how to do it.
Don't know the cost yet.

Out of interest if you are British with Spanish residency will you have to pay for the COVID Vaccine when it becomes available.

Hello
I don't think having residencia will support a free vaccination but having a Spanish health card --SIP might, along the lines of the flu vaccine & any others offered by by the spanish health authority, after all we are afforded the same rights as spanish nationals.
Guess we will have to wait & see
