The Covid-19 vaccination is free for all Maltese ID card holders and no one should ask you for a payment to register for appointments.

Please try to make sure that you attend on the dates and times provided. However, if for some serious medical reason, you cannot attend, call on 145.

You should not take the vaccine while you have active Covid illness or you are in quarantine. You should take the vaccine after 4 weeks from your first positive covid test or from when you felt the initial symptoms. Please call 145 to guide you accordingly. If you are in quarantine, but not COVID-19 positive, you can get vaccinated after your quarintine period is over. Please call 145 to guide you accordingly.

The vaccines have been proven to be safe and effective through clinical trials carried out among tens of thousands of people. The vaccines have also passed the rigorous approval process of the European Medicines Authority (EMA) and the World Health Organisation.

Data collected indicate that side effects of the COVID-19 vaccines are similar to licenced vaccines used for other diseases.

Individuals who receive the vaccine may experience some level of discomfort in the form of chills, fever, injection site reaction (redness, pain, swelling), fatigue, nausea, headache, muscle pain, joint pain or aches. Less common side effects include enlarged lymph nodes, feeling unwell, pain in limb, insomnia and injection site itching.

To date, common side effects were reported to last for a day or two and resolve on their own.

The vaccine uses a piece of genetic material from the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 which produces neutralizing antibodies. As a result, if the person who is immunized becomes infected with the virus, the neutralizing antibodies will bind to the virus and prevent it from entering cells, multiplying and causing serious disease.

The part of the virus used in the vaccine does not enter the cell’s nucleus. It is also not a full virus and cannot replicate itself. The particle is rapidly broken down by the cell once the instructions have been transmitted, so it cannot cause any changes in other human cells.

Yes. The immunity gained from a natural infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus may not be strong enough to achieve long-term immunity. In fact, there have been cases of people who have been infected more than once. This is why we are also giving the vaccine to people who have already been infected in the past. One must wait for 4 weeks following a positive Covid test before getting vaccinated.

If you have an acute illness with fever on the day of the vaccination, this should be postponed. Children and adolescents under age 18 are not eligible to receive the booster vaccine as, so far, there is no data on the safety and efficacy of the vaccine in this population.

In line with the European Board & College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (EBCOG), the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the Malta College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (MCOG) recommends COVID-19 vaccination in women who are trying to conceive or are pregnant or breast feeding. The vaccination programme, including the booster dose, remains the best way to protect against the known risks of COVID-19 in pregnancy for both mother and baby.

Talk to your GP or call our helpline 145 before you are given the vaccine if you: have ever had a severe allergic reaction or breathing problems following any other vaccine or an injectable medicine; was hospitalised for a severe allergic reaction; or you need to carry an adrenaline injection with you in case of a severe allergic reaction.
