Vaccination news
According to the Portuguese Vaccination Task Force, the timeline for the vaccination can be checked in the chart below.
Nevertheless, recent news by the Task Force have revealed that, since there will be a significant arrival of vaccines to the country in June, the 50’s, 40’s and 30’s age range might all be vaccinated in June.
The goal is to make sure the Janssen vaccines are used by citizens older than 50 years old, which is the recommendation so far. This being said, the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines would be used for population under 50.
The plan is to vaccinate week by week the 50’s, then the 40’s and finally the 30’s, unless the National Health Service (SNS) decides to lift its recommendation of vaccinating only people older than 50 with the Janssen vaccine.
Until such important measure is in process and since we are now in the 50-59 age range, citizens who are older than 55 years old, who have not been vaccinated yet, can now book their appointment online.
