THE Generalitat instructed hospitals to give Covid vaccinations only by appointment.
Until the order was issued on December 22, the province’s hospitals were accepting allcomers eligible for a third booster jab but, as in the case of San Juan and Alicante General, they were swamped with would-be vaccinees, even those from other Health districts.
The regional Health department has made clear that boosters should be given according to age.  Most over-70s have now had their jab with the over-60s next in line, except in some areas where this has been completed, with the over-50s to follow.
