The Ministry of Health of the Government of the Canary Islands informs that people residing in Fuerteventura who this year turn between 50 and 59 years old will be summoned in the next few days to receive the vaccine against COVID-19.
Thus, the Canary Islands Health Service (SCS) has activated several complementary systems such as sending SMS and summons from health centers or vaccination centers.
In addition, in a complementary way and to speed up vaccination in a part of this age group, people over 55 years of age living in Fuerteventura who have not been cited may call 928 423 516 to request their prior appointment.
The purpose is to vaccinate the most vulnerable groups as soon as possible, as stated in the Vaccination Strategy against COVID-19.
To do this, citation systems have been combined that promote coverage of priority groups, since the arrival of vaccines regularly, together with the opening of massive vaccination centers allow to intensify the inoculation of target groups and progress in the inoculation in this age group.
Progressively, the lines of citation will be opened for other age groups.
