Persons who have not yet taken the Covid-19 jab can do so without an appointment as from Monday, the health ministry said.

They can do so at the University of Malta’s Gateway Hall and at Gozo’s Conference and Expo Centre from Monday to Friday between 8:30am and 3pm.

People aged under 16 need to prezent an identification document and have to be accompanied by an adult to give consent.

The ministry said that a mobile vaccine unit will also start operating on Monday.

Anyone wishing to receive the vaccine at the mobile unit needs to present an ID card or any other document confirming that they are residents of Malta. This can include a utility bill, a lease agreement or a work contract.

Deputy Prime Minister and Health Minister Chris Fearne announced that the mobile vaccination clinic will be visiting the Mosta, Zejtun and St. Julians localities on 19, 21 and 24 July respectively. A full schedule will be published in the coming days.

As of yet 80% of the Maltese adult population is fully vaccinated and two thirds of the 12 to 15 year old cohort has received the first dose of the vaccine.

Fearne also announced that no appointment would be needed to get the vaccine from the mobile clinic.
