Booster jab.

Hi,

Yes , go to your local centro de Salud and get a temporary Sip card . They should also give you an appointment ( depending on age) for your booster jab. I am non resident and got mine before Christmas 

The only problem is that you won't get a certificate of vaccination that is up to date because they won't transfer your UK jabs to the EU one, or vice versa .... So although you can get the jab it may not be a lot of use for practical purposes like going to the bars or potentially (not required at the moment) going back to the UK.

Sorry ,didnt realize that .Im Irish so it automatically goes on EU cert

Thanks for info: very helpful. B M

Hi myself and my husband are due to arrive in La Marina next week for 10 days holidays. We were so excited about going over but now with the  rise of cases of covid Im not sure we should go. We both have our booster jabs, we are in our sixties and afraid we might get stuck in Spain. Any advice would be welcome for us to make our minds up.Thank you

Cases are rising right across the world. 

It is the decision that only you can make.

We wear masks outside, need to show a covid certificate to go inside a bar and the weather is a couple of degrees warmer than in the U.K.. You need to fill a form out to get to Spain, have a test before you leave. Fill a form out to get you back into the U.K. and then quarantine until you get the negative result  of your Day 2 test.

The only helpful advise I’ve heard from people coming on holidays is that if you’re on any medication to bring an extra two weeks with you. If you should contact covid, you would be unable to return to the U.K. for two weeks ,By bringing extra meds, that way you dont have to worry about trying to obtain meds from the farmacia, whilst you’re in isolation.

Hi Colette,

        my wife and I are in the same position as yourselves, though we are older.  My only concern is that Spain could initiate a stricter lockdown, as they did last year. This would restrict us going out and about. I think this unlikely but it is a possibility. If it happens then we would fly back early as we are planning to be in Spain for 5 weeks. For 10 days I would say the risk is minimal so you should go over and enjoy the break. 

  Personally at the moment I am more interested in how the weather will be!

Rgds,

Such unnecessary and sad discrimination - the key issue is the quality/effectiveness  of the vaccine not imagined and imposed third country status.  However, if you make hostile environments then over a period of time you will achieve your goal of alienation whatever warm words sarcastically seep out of Brussels. The Common Travel Area will soon have to follow …. 

I arrived in Spain from Ireland ( NI/UK) with my NHS cert for 2 AZ jabs,having an Irish Passport and using info from NHS cert was able to ,very easily,obtain an EU ( Irish) vaccination cert.

At first doctors appointment in Centro Salud doctor asked for my age ,70+,told me I was due a booster,made an appointment and a week later got a Pfizer  booster.From Spanish site ,courtesy of link from this forum,obtained my Spanish EU vaccination cert,it showed 1/2.Went to reception with NHS cert showing 2/2 with dates and the Spanish booster cert showing 1/2,they took copies and my phone number.

A week later recieived call ,cert was okay,went online downloaded Spanish EU cert ,now shows 3/3 ,all info now on my Spanish medical documents ,sounds complicated but was very easy.
