Hello, 

Can anyone tell me how foreigners / expats in Estepona will be informed when they will be invited for a Covid vaccine.

Would it be via the public healthcare system through your public healthcare card - or - by the local town hall / Padron?

If it is via the public healthcare system. Can anyone outline the process involved in obtaining a healthcard in Estepona?

I have residencia / TIE, social security number, Empadronamiento and pay tax here. 

Many thanks, 

Will

Hi Will

You will be advised by your Local Health Center when you should have your initial  Covid-19 Vaccination. If you are not registered on the National Health Care System , you will not be called for your Vaccination. 

Scenario 1 is when you receive a Sate Pension from UK and you have requested an S1 to take to your Local INSS Office

Scenario 2 is when you are paying Social Security Payments and a certificate is issued which you have to  take to your Local Health Center or INSS Office to register for Spanish Health Care.

See link below for details. Hope this helps

Nigel, 

Thank you for your response. 

To confirm I can register (with all the requisite paperwork) at the INSS Office in Estepona for Spanish Health Care?
Thanks again for your response.

Regards, 

Will
