Walk-in flu jabs on Wednesdays. 107 points open across Málaga province

The Junta de Andalucía will offer flu vaccinations without an appointment on five Wednesdays, from 18 November to 16 December, at 107 points in Málaga province. Some 64 of them will be open from 3pm, which matters for people who work mornings.

The announcement came from Antonio Sanz, the regional vice-president and minister for the Presidency, Health and Emergencies, who spoke to reporters at the XXIX National Psychiatry Congress, according to the Junta and Diario Sur.

Key facts

• Dates: Wednesdays 18 and 25 November, and 2, 9 and 16 December.
• Málaga province: 107 walk-in points, 64 with afternoon hours from 15.00.
• Andalusia-wide: 541 points, 304 of them open in the afternoon, up 10 per cent on the 276 of the previous campaign.
• Who can go: children from six months to four years and 11 months, people aged 60 or over, people with chronic illnesses, pregnant women and those living with someone in these groups.
• Where to check: the Andalusian Health Service (SAS) list at https://sspa.lajunta.es/vacunasincita.

What is on offer

The walk-in points will vaccinate eligible people against flu and Covid-19. According to the Junta, they will also give pneumococcal and shingles (herpes zoster) vaccines where indicated, and the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine for adults where applicable.

The Junta describes the sessions as an extra service alongside the usual appointments with health professionals, intended to widen access.

Sanz urged the target population to take part. "It is a very good opportunity to protect oneself against respiratory illnesses that can become a problem for people at risk. The vaccine is completely safe, free and the best way to protect ourselves," he said, in the Junta's Spanish wording translated here.

He also said more than one in three health centres would offer the walk-in service every Wednesday until 16 December.

Afternoon hours expanded

Across Andalusia, 56.2 per cent of the walk-in points will have afternoon opening. The Junta said the extension is meant to help people who work in the mornings. Regionally, the service totals 1,847 hours a week, of which 797.5 fall from 15.00.

Málaga's 107 points compare with 104 in Seville, 83 in Jaén and 74 in Cádiz, the other large provinces in the Junta's breakdown.
