The Ministry of Health reminds that vaccination continues to be the best protection against getting seriously ill or dying from Covid-19, and all mass vaccination points are open all week for anyone with an appointment for their first, second, or third dose of a vaccine.
If you want to book an appointment and don’t speak Spanish, the best way is via the miCita Previa app which you can download from Google Play or the Apple stores, put in your health card details, and choose a date and location.
The other option, if you are in Santa Cruz in Tenerife or Las Palmas in Gran Canaria, you can visit the Vacuna Buses which are in circulation again.
