Over 350,000 residents of the Canary Islands have now requested an appointment to be vaccinated against the Covid via the online form which was activated by the Ministry of Health of the Canary Islands last Monday, May 24th. This service of the Canary Islands Health Service (SCS) is complemented with calls made and received from 012 and through SMS messages.

Most of the requests were made during the first 24 hours of the launch of the website, when a total of 100,000 people registered, according to health sources.

On the other hand, those over 50 years of age living in the Canary Islands can now make an appointment to get vaccinated by calling 012 (or 928 301 012 or 922 470 012).

The rest of the population, aged between 16 and 49, can only make their appointments through the web form at www.canariassevacuna.com where they can fill in their full name, DNI or NIE number, and mobile phone number, and the health authorities will do the rest. In addition you can download the MiCita Previa App and see your vaccination date in there after registration.
