IMPORTANT COVID VACCINE INFO

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FROM THE BRITISH EMBASSY -
Dear All,
I hope you are all well. I am writing with an urgent request from the Valencian healthcare authority regarding some erroneous information that is circulation on social media. I’d be grateful if you could share the following information on your platforms/with your communities, where appropriate. Do forgive me if you are not in Valencia and have been included in this incorrectly – you can blame my geography!
The Valencian health authority has made us aware that the following link is being shared erroneously. This link (below) is for patients who have Covid-19 symptoms only (and do not have a SIP card), it will register them on the system so that they can receive the appropriate medical attention.
It seems this link is being circulated erroneously on social media as a way of registering to receive the vaccine for those who aren’t on the state system e.g. those with private health insurance. This is not the case, and those who have registered on the system using this link are, in fact, notifying the authorities that they have symptoms. As a result, the authorities are duty bound to call every individual, which is placing an unnecessary strain on their system in the cases where people have registered incorrectly.
The link to notify the Valencian authorities that you have Covid-19 symptoms is as follows. It should not be used to register for a vaccine. http://coronavirusregistro.san.gva.es/sipcovid19/registrosinsip?language=es
Lastly, there are also rumours that there is a waiting list for vaccines. There is no list, according to the authorities. Those who are eligible for a vaccine will be vaccinated according to the risk group they belong to, as per the wider vaccine rollout. If a UK national does not have a SIP card, they can contact their local health centre to register (and are advised to call beforehand).
Many thanks for your help in getting this information out to UK nationals in this area.
Best,
Debbi
