Other options
In Serra, vaccines against Covid-19 and dengue are also offered on working days, from Monday to Friday, in the municipality’s health units, according to the Vaccination Room opening hours of each one.
In the case of the Covid-19 vaccine, another option for citizens is vaccination without an appointment on weekends and holidays at fixed points such as Shopping Montserrat, in Colina de Laranjeiras and at events such as Serra + Cidadã and Serra + Saúde.
It is worth noting that at the beginning of the month it was advised by the Ministry of Health that doses of the dengue vaccine should only be administered in health units.
Therefore, an option on the weekend for vaccination against this disease without an appointment is the Serra + Saúde joint effort, held in Regional Health Units (URS).
