Editor, I am in my late sixties and, for the past three years, have been living quietly here in the Algarve under the radar, like many other non Portuguese adults from all walks of life. You would think that the authorities would want to vaccinate as many of us as possible in order to protect the tourism sector.
复活节后,我在网上申请了疫苗,包含爱尔兰南部手机号码的申请被成功提交。另一个外国人告诉我,他不得不走另一条路,以确保他得到疫苗。他建议,如果我提供一个非葡萄牙语的号码,我可能不会收到对申请的答复。
尽管我没有理由在这里看医生,但有人建议我在当地的诊所注册。在卢斯,卢斯医生把我带到离他们诊所100米远的卫生局办公室。"你必须去拉各斯",这是一个无助的接待员的回答,她没有提供任何关于在拉各斯可以去哪里的信息。
由于没有收到任何短信或电话,我已经放弃了,不得不安排返回南爱尔兰几个月,以确保获得注射。
Paul O' Byrne,
Praia da Luz
