SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, 15 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Ministry of Health of the Government of the Canary Islands informs this Monday that the health areas of Tenerife and Gran Canaria have several mass vaccination points to which you can go to receive the vaccine against COVID-19 in case of having been vaccinated with Janssen.
Thus, in the event that no dose of the vaccines approved for immunization against the coronavirus has been received or the booster dose against this disease must be received, you can go to any of the active mass vaccination points, both by appointment as without an appointment.
The vaccination teams continue to work in the spaces set up on both capital islands, advancing in the inoculation process of both first and second doses and booster doses.
In Tenerife, the vaccination points are the Fairgrounds: Monday, Tuesday and Friday from 08:30 to 14:00, Wednesday and Thursday from 13:30 to 19:00 and Saturdays and Sundays from 09:30 to 16:00; Magma Arte & Congresos, on Monday, Tuesday and Friday from 08:30 to 14:00, Wednesday and Thursday from 13:30 to 19:00 and Saturdays and Sundays from 09:30 to 16:00; Hospital Universitario de Canarias from Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and Hospital del Norte, on Monday, Tuesday and Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and Wednesday and Thursday from 1:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
In Gran Canaria, the authorized points will be Infecar, from Monday to Sunday from 09:30 to 18:30; Expomeloneras, from Monday to Sunday from 09:30 to 18:30; Juan Vega Mateos Pavilion (Gáldar) from Monday to Friday from 09:30 to 13:30; Insular-Maternal-Infant University Hospital Complex from Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and Doctor Negrín University Hospital of Gran Canaria, from Monday to Friday from 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Health details that you can also request a prior appointment by calling 012 (928 301 012 or 922 470 012), through the miCitaPrevia mobile app or on the Canary Islands Health Service (SCS) website.
At the same time, and proactively, the different SCS vaccination teams will call on the patients likely to receive these booster doses.
Those people who are in the target population group established for this campaign can go to these vaccination points, that is, those who are 12 years old (already completed) or older, and who have not received any dose of the vaccine against COVID-19.
Those who have to receive the second dose of the vaccine may also attend, provided that the waiting time periods established in the vaccination schedule of each laboratory are met.
OVER 70 YEARS
In addition, those people over 70 years of age who were vaccinated with Pfizer or Moderna at least six months ago may also go to these facilities to receive the third dose of this drug.
This population group can also be vaccinated against the flu at the same time they receive the booster dose of COVID-19.
The SCS is proceeding to send SMS to people vaccinated with Janssen informing them that they need to administer this booster dose.
Likewise, those who were vaccinated with Janssen at least three months ago will also be able to go with and without an appointment to these vaccination points to receive the booster dose.
This group will be administered the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, as agreed in the Interterritorial Council of the National Health System.
PREVENTIVE MEASURES AGAINST COVID-19
The Ministry of Health of the Government of the Canary Islands insists on the need to continue maintaining preventive measures against COVID-19 in order to avoid coronavirus infections.
In this sense, it is recalled that the use of a mask, perform good hand hygiene, maintain social distance and maintain proper ventilation of the rooms help reduce the risk of coronavirus infections.
