Re: Covid vaccine in Portugal
Have you been contacted by text or phone or email from SNS, at least acknowledging your existence?
Clearly some of us have not received any such notification, so unless its being done region by region then best check they have correct info

Re: Covid vaccine in Portugal
It's being done in phases. To save me typing it out, I'll copy and paste from the SNS website :
You'll be contacted to arrange attendance.
Phase 3 is projected to begin in April but no guarantees about that or any projection about the completion of the campaign due to current uncertainty about continuity of supplies.

Re: Covid vaccine in Portugal
SNS is the PT health service - Serviço Nacional de Saúde. Or am I killing a joke here?
That's my kind of technology!

I got the happy SMS Dec 26; "Vaccinations start tomorrow, free, contact SNS" [don't get confused now...]
Sure it does, for health care workers. The rest of us try and stay safe until it's our turn, and that will be a while.

Re: Covid vaccine in Portugal
I'm surprized that the SNS is sending you all SMSs in the first place. The French S.S. sends out invitations to get vaccinated against the flu, by post, with a form for the pharmacie and nurse to stamp and sign, and no doubt will target us Oldies in the same way when Phase II approaches here.
Do you have to give your mobile/landline phone numbers to the SNS when you enter the System? The French S.S. has never asked for them, even before internet and websites were invented....
Just interested...

We're very advanced here - we get prescriptions by SMS these days
And they can check to see whether you've bought them.We get texts and emails about all sorts of things - civil protection, taxes due prompts etc. All jolly useful stuff.
