A Google translation -
The Ministry of Health of the Government of the Canary Islands recalls that foreigners legally residing in the Archipelago who do not have a health card can be summoned to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
To access the vaccination, they must go in person to the health center closest to their home to proceed to update their contact information, providing a registration certificate that effectively certifies that they are residents of the islands, at the same time as your identification document such as your passport.
Once their data is registered in the computer system of the Canary Health Service (SCS), they will be scheduled and vaccinated at the established vaccination points.

An interesting article about the vaccination take up on Fuerteventura: https://diariodefuerteventura.com/notici...7VFdGvpjwo
A summary:
Only 62% residents between the ages of 20 and 29 have received any of the COVID vaccines on the Island, which is the lowest age group take up.
Conversely, the highest number of Coronavirus infections is occurring precisely in young people between 20 and 29 years old. This Wednesday there are 17 twenty-somethings infected, more than any other age group.
More than 159,250 doses had been administered in Fuerteventura until this past Monday.
In total, 81,563 people have received at least one dose of the Coronavirus vaccine, which represents 68.12 percent of the island's population.
By age groups - those over 90 have all received at least one dose; from 80 to 89 years old, 99.3 percent; from 70 to 79 years 90.4 percent; from 60 to 69 years 85.5 percent; from 50 to 59 years, 85 percent and from 40 to 49, 76.7 percent.
From this age group, the vaccination data decreases significantly. From 30 to 29 years only 68.2 percent have received at least one dose and from 20 to 29 the figure drops to 64.6 percent and 62 percent have both doses.
Interestingly, the figures for those under 20 years of age are more positive: in the group of people aged 12 to 19, the statistics of vaccinated rises to 79.9 percent.
Immunization in Fuerteventura
In Fuerteventura, 80,076 people are already considered immunized against COVID, having received the complete vaccination schedule, which represents 66.88 percent of the general population.
By age group - all those over 90 years of age are immunized; from 80 to 89, 98.8 percent have received two doses; from 70 to 79 years, 89.8 percent; from 60 to 69, 84.4 percent; from 50 to 59, 84.6 percent; and from 40 to 49, 75.8 percent also have the complete guideline.
As with the vaccination data, twentysomethings and thirties "pass" the vaccine and only 62 percent of the former and 66.3 percent of the latter have received the full dose.
On the other hand, once again the 12 to 19 year-old group shows a high percentage, as it is evident that 77.5 percent of people in this age group have received the complete vaccination schedule.

From Radio Sintonia:
The Ministry of Health of the Government of the Canary Islands began today the vaccination against influenza in all health centers of the Canary Islands with the aim of reducing the incidence of this disease, its duration and the impact that, every year, it has on the population; especially in this year in which we are still in a COVID-19 pandemic.
This flu vaccination campaign is presented with the uniqueness of coinciding with the administration of the third dose of COVID-19 vaccine for those over 70 years of age who will be able to receive, at the same time, the flu vaccines and the third dose against COVID-19. In this way, it is easier for this group to go for a single day to be vaccinated and we do not saturate the vaccination teams, being more efficient in the organization.
The flu vaccine is recommended for everyone over 65 years of age, chronically ill people of any age and their caregivers, pregnant women, health and social care personnel.
Make an appointment
The appointment for vaccination can be made by calling 012 or 922470012 or 928301012 and the flu vaccination campaign is aimed at population groups at risk of complications in case of influenza:
• Over 60 years of age, to prevent complications, hospitalizations or deaths in case of contracting the flu.
• People diagnosed with chronic pathologies of any age (over 6 months), to prevent complications, hospitalizations or deaths in case of contracting the disease.
• Pregnant women, to protect themselves and also their future children, and prevent complications, hospitalizations or deaths in case of contracting the flu.
• Health personnel, to protect themselves and the people who are under their care, also avoiding that there may be a reduction in their services, which are essential for the community, in case of multiple casualties due to influenza, especially in the current situation of the COVID-19 pandemic.
261,500 doses purchased in the Canary Islands
The Canary Islands have acquired to face this flu season 2021-22 a total of 261,500 doses of influenza vaccine, with an investment of 1,801,500 euros, expandable if necessary due to an increase in the demand for vaccination.
To face this season, three types of vaccines will be available: - Influenza viruses (fractionated, inactivated), cultured in embryonic egg, of the four strains (quadrivalent) recommended by the WHO. 140,000 doses, for an amount of 840,000 euros. It is preferably indicated for people under 60 years of age with chronic diseases.
- Influenza virus (fractionated, inactivated), cell culture, of the four strains (quadrivalent) recommended by WHO. 120,000 doses for an amount of 924,000 euros. It is preferably indicated for people over 60 years of age and pregnant women
- Quadrivalent high-dose influenza vaccine: recommended by WHO. 1500 doses for an amount of 37,500 euros. It is preferably indicated for people over 90 years of age institutionalized in residences.
Combination of flu vaccine and third dose of COVID-19
In the case of those over 70 years of age who make an appointment to get vaccinated against influenza and COVID-19, the computer system already takes into account that a period of six months must pass between the administration of the second and third doses of COVID-19 vaccine. Thus, when the user requests an appointment to get vaccinated against the flu and against COVID-19, these deadlines will be taken into account to administer the two vaccines on the same day.
For the vaccination of those under 70 years of age, both mass vaccination points and health centers will be available, while those over 70 will preferably be referred to their health center because it is the space closest to their home.
Flu hospitalizations
In the 2019-2020 season, 250 Hospitalized Confirmed Severe Cases of Influenza were reported to the surveillance system, of which 86 cases (34.4%) were admitted to the ICU and 36 cases (14.4%) died.
