According to the ARS website, no prior appointments are required and people simply have to bring their citizen card, to be eligible and appear on the Ministry of Health's vaccination lists and wait to be vaccinated.
This action comes within the scope of the initiative announced last week by the Task Force for the vaccination plan against Covid-19, whose objective is to create specific days and hours for people from more advanced age groups who, for some reason, have been left out of the process and can now be vaccinated without an appointment.
I went to Lagoa today, I am registered online, I have a utente number I arrived at 2.30 got a number waited until 6.30 to be informed that they know nothing about this article.A lot of very unhappy readers .

Spent 2 hours queuing at Lagos centre to be told I had to wait until I got a call. I have waited one month for a call. Waited along side 60 other people who were all turned away. Many had an appointment for 13th May, never received the SMS, and can’t get back into the system to make a new appointment!! HELP!!!

We are both over 60 and desperate for our jab.
We have registered on the sef website for non residents and heard nothing.
Why can't we have the vaccine.

This is not true, i was in Silves and didnt get the jab. You need an Utente Number and an appointment to get the jab.
