Private Insurance Holders In Andalucia Can Now Apply For The Vaccine

Do you have private health insurance and are you still waiting for the vaccine?

FOR anyone with private health insurance, this is the form (below) from the Junta de Andalucia to take to your local health centre then register for the Covid vaccine. Remember to take a copy of your Passport, Padron and TIE/Residencia with you. Most of the health centres in the region are fortunate enough to have a group of volunteers that will help you fill in the form and hand it in for registration if your Spanish is not good enough.

To be included in the vaccination process, you must be registered in the BDU (user database). Some people – in general foreigners – may not be registered in the system when using private healthcare providers and have not received prior care in the Andalucian Public Health System.

In this case, it is necessary to register in the BDU in order to join the vaccination process against Covid-19, without this implying any right to other public health benefits.

To facilitate registration, it is necessary to complete this simple form and deliver it to a health centre. Click on the Junta de Andalucia link to take you directly to the site. Junta de Andalucía

Private Insurance Holders – Why you should get the vaccine

The vice president of the Board and Minister of Tourism, Regeneration, Justice and Local Administration, Juan Marín, has said that with the arrival of the fourth wave in Andalucia, it may force the Board to once again tighten the restrictions in the community back to where they were before the Easter holidays.

“If we have to return to old schedules, we will,” stressed Marín, although he pointed out that, for the moment, “the projection” of the pandemic curve “is not excessively bad.”
