The Department of Public Health (DVG) has communicated via a press conference that there will be a few changes made regarding the registration and administering of vaccinations against COVID-19. DVG argues that these adjustments to the vaccination campaign will increase the capacity for vaccination, relocate employees and introduce changes into the organization that will result in maximum efficiency. It is asked that everybody take a good note.
Starting on Tuesday, April 6th, Don Bosco Club in Noord will no longer function as a vaccination location. The two remaining locations that will serve as vaccination locations are Centro Liberator Betico Croes in Santa Cruz and Santa Teresita Center located in San-Nicolas, on Monday through Saturday non-stop from 8:30 am till 7:30 pm.
The week of the 5th till the 9th of April will be the last week in which the community can utilize the MFA Santa Cruz, MFA Paradera, or MFA Noord to help with registrations. Starting on Monday the 12th of April, it will no longer be possible to register at any MFA.

The ‘Walk In’ without an appointment service still applies only to those aged 60 and up. All citizens below the age of 60 will need an appointment to receive their vaccination.
