Vaccination plan by age range

7 May 2021

According to the Portuguese Vaccination Task Force, a new timeline for the vaccination is in place. Therefore, please check below the age ranges and each estimated deadline date: 

Another important piece of news is that citizens below the age of 50, who wish to be vaccinated with the Johnson & Johnson / Janssen vaccine, can request to receive such vaccine by giving express consent, acknowledging that they understand its risks and benefits. This might allow the vaccination process to be accelerated, especially since it only requires a single dose.

 

Lastly, citizens older than 65 years old, who have not been vaccinated yet, can now book their appointment online.
