Hi,  

A friend has sent me a copy of the following.

 booster without appointment  for 60+ open to all regardless of status here.  Is that open to non residents of Spain. 

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you

Hello

 You didnt say where this was taking place? 

 If it was the vaccinations taking place at  Torrevieja Hospital then people who have been today said a SIP card  (Health card) was required so, that won't be possible for all non residents.

Cheers

Elinspain

I have a temporary sip card that was issued in April this year, is it still valid or would it need updating. Thank you.

There is an expiry date on the card . If it has expired they will issue you a new one in your local centro de salud

Thank you for your reply, there is no expiry date on my temporary sip card only a issue date.

Not good if that is the case, as then I would have to make a appointment and go to the padron office for a up to date padron! And then visit my local health centre and there is always a long queue each day there, I was hoping today to get the booster jab at Torrevieja hospital, but probably there will be a long queue like yesterday, so imagine if I queued all that time and then get turned away because my temporary sip card had expired!!! What a nightmare, looks like I will have to toss a coin, thank you again, stay safe and healthy my friend and merry Christmas.

You dont need a padron to get a temporary sip card i didnt . You might be lucky (because of time of year ) at the health centre if you go early . I believe they are giving boosters until about 8 this evening . Give it a shot and good luck . Merry Christmas to you too

Hi, the reason I mentioned the padron was when I first attended my local health centre to obtain a temporary sip card last March which I needed  to get my first Covid jab I was refused as my padron was over 3 months old! And yes if the queue today at torrevieja hospital is less than yesterday when I attempted to get a booster jab I will get in line, fingers crossed.
