COVID-19: it’s easier than ever to get tested or vaccinated

With the summer holidays upon us, complete with a high number of positive COVID-19 cases, the Prince’s Government was keen to make it easier for patients to access the testing and vaccination centres.

Testing now available without an appointment

Monegasque nationals and residents can now visit the Testing Centre at the Rainier III Auditorium without an appointment between 8.30 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday to Friday.

Non-resident employees and pupils attending school in the Principality can also take advantage of this offer provided that they have a medical prescription.

Book appointments online

Patients who would like to get tested or vaccinated can now make an appointment online via the website www.monacosante.mc .

Online appointment booking is open to Monegasque nationals and residents, and non-resident employees and pupils attending school in the Principality.

If you would like to make a vaccination appointment for children aged 5 to 11 years inclusive, please visit the website www.vaccination-covid19.mc and go to the ‘Request a call-back to make an appointment’ section to complete the parental consent procedure.

The health authorities strongly urge people aged over 60 and those with an increased risk of serious disease to get a second vaccine booster shot (fourth dose). Vaccination is voluntary and completely free of charge.

The Government has made two types of vaccine available to willing patients: a messenger RNA vaccine (Pfizer) and a vaccine which contains no messenger RNA (Novavax).

For more information about testing, vaccination or current health regulations, please check the website www.covid19.mc or contact the Call Centre, open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week, on 92.05.55.00.
