Registering at local Health Center for Canadian and USA citizens with residency in Spain

This is directed to people with residency in Spain who are non EU. Specifically to USA and Canada citizens living here with an NIE and the residency card that is valid for a first year, then renewed for two more and then two more, to total 5 years for permanent residency and who are NOT already registered with the Junta de Andalucia Consejeria de Salud y Familias.

WhatsApp Essentials

Whilst there’s nothing wrong with using SMS text messages and phone calls to keep in touch, many people now use WhatsApp to send messages and make calls. It’s an easy way to stay connected with loved ones and to send and receive photos and videos.

Update 2 of the Vaccination Strategy Approved

The Public Health Commission approves update 2 of the vaccination Strategy that recommends the next groups.
It points out that people in the first stage will continue to be vaccinated: residents and health and social health personnel who work in nursing homes for the elderly and care for large dependents, first-line personnel in the health and social health field, other health and social health personnel and people considered large dependents who are not in institutions.

Latest Timetable for Vaccinations

This is just the start of the vaccine rollout. Other groups will then be added as of the 22nd March, (or earlier if possible), so if you don’t think your included in this first phase, then you will be at a later stage of the rollout, but EVERYONE will be offered the vaccine just as soon as its possible to do so.

Update On The S1 Form

Does the S1 Form entitle me to healthcare cover in the UK?

S1 holders will continue to receive UK national healthcare services if they visit the UK, as would any other UK resident. This includes primary care, emergency treatment and hospital care that is provided by the NHS.
