I have received the long awaited SMS inviting me to vaccination with Pfizer, with dates/times for both appointments. I need to make changes to that because 1. I am not available on the first date, and 2. I just need 1 single shot because I have already had COVID.
How do i do that? How to go about making those changes? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Where did you get the information that you only require 1Covid vaccine if you already have had covid? My understanding is that you still require 2,also how will you stand with the vaccine passport if you only have 1 jab?

Vospencer is correct - if he's already had Covid-19, he may only need 1 vaccination, BUT only if he has had it less than 6 months ago. My friends both had Covid last September - they had their first jabs in April, so they need to have a second dose.
Kind regards,
Kim

Thanks for that. Main question is: how to change the appointment to another date? Please advise if you know

If the appointment is at Orihuela mass vax centre, I'd suggest contacting the Valencian health department on 900 300 555. If it's at your local health centre, contact them direct.

You should be able to change appointments online? You will still need 2 jabs. I've had Covid and still needed 2 jabs. You will have better immunity to the different strains of Covid.

I had to cancel my first jab, called that number, and was advised don't worry if you can't make appointment, u will be contacted again with another date, and guess what heard nothing, u may need to pop into your local medical centre and see what they can organise. I am now back in UK for a while so will get jabs here.
