It is noted that to obtain it, you must submit an application to any city center for social services.

It is clarified that this applies to the program, which operates from June 23 to December 31, 2021 and which applies to vaccinated citizens over 65 years of age.

Elderly people who have been re-vaccinated during the specified period can also take part in the program.
