Andalusian health and government sources have told The Local Spain that foreigners living in the region will get the Covid-19 even if they’re not on the public health system. What still remains unclear is how they should register.
The news follows the previous announcement that foreigners who are not “beneficiaries of the Spanish public health system” in the southern region would not be able to get the vaccine, a big worry for the many foreigners in the region who have private health insurance instead and therefore no access to the inoculation.
Andalusia’s Health Council has now backtracked on its previous statements and said it will give foreigners who aren’t paying social security contributions but who live in the region the Covid-19 vaccine as well.
