Is there anywhere you can go and pay for a booster jag ? Went to Paphos General this morning and absolute pandemonium. I live in Chlorakas. Thanks.

You could try going for a jab in the afternoon when the hospital is very quiet and car parking is much easier..

I think you’ve previously commented that you’re not registered with GESY? If that’s still the case, I think your only option is a walk in vaccination as you won’t have access to the Vaccination Portal to book a slot, or be registered to a GESY GP who may be able to book an appointment on your behalf.
Going as late as you can in the day seems to be pay dividends in terms of short waiting times based on a friends experience at Paphos General 2 weeks ago. Again based, on friends experience, avoid early morning as it’s usually full of people who need to get to work.

Thanks for the info Ian. I am in GESY, don't they contact you via your mobile anymore, as they did on my first two jabs, six months ago come January, so due very soon at 73yrs.

We both received SMS yesterday to say "it's booster time".
Went along to General hospital this morning at 10.00,
Mrs Mm had PCR test firstly (pre op) and then both had
boosters. Only about 6 people waiting at booster room.
All done within 20 mins.

It is strange that some people get a booster Jab in a very short time, and yet I have seen a long queue outside the hospital. How do you bypass the long queue ??

Yes in Larnaca, they check your Id , against appointment, then after appointments are done, walk ins are next.
