Task Force calls on those without a second dose of vaccine to use “open house” facility

TASK FORCE CALLS ON THOSE WITHOUT A SECOND DOSE OF VACCINE TO USE “OPEN HOUSE” FACILITYThe task force that coordinates the vaccination process against Covid-19 have called for all people who have not yet received their second vaccination dose to go to any vaccination centre, using the “open house” facility.

“Currently, with a slower pace of vaccination (since the majority of the population is already vaccinated) and greater availability of vaccines, the second doses can take place in a vaccination centre different from the place where the first dose was administered. Go to a centre and get vaccinated, Covid-19 vaccines are safe and effective. Only together and with a sense of individual and community responsibility will it be possible to defeat this virus", say the 'task force', reminding the public that the "Open House" facility is working without restrictions on age groups or place of residence of users.

Open house schedules are available at https://covid19.min-saude.pt/casa_aberta/ .

According to the vaccination report released today by the General Directorate of Health (DGS), 83% of the population has already completed vaccination against the SARS-CoV-2 virus and 86% – almost 8.9 million people – already have at least one dose of the vaccine.
