A single dose is required.
The Government of Monaco strongly recommends that “people aged 65 and over and those at risk of severe forms of the disease are vaccinated as a protective measure.” With the arrival of autumn, a new dose of the Covid-19 vaccine can now be prescribed to any Monegasques, Monaco residents, people covered by the Principality’s social security system or children attending school in Monaco aged 12 or over.

The adult Comirnaty Omicron XBB1.5 vaccine was produced by Pfizer and BioNTech, and can be obtained as follows:
- Contact the Centre Monégasque de Dépistage (Screening Centre) in the Princess Grace Hospital (CHPG) on (+377) 97.98.83.02 to make an appointment.
- Make an appointment with your GP at the surgery or at home if you are unable to travel.
- Go to one of the Principality’s pharmacies.
The health professional who carries out the vaccination will ask you to complete a medical questionnaire to check that there are no contraindications. Please note that for minors aged between 12 and 17, the opinion of a paediatrician and the agreement of legal guardians – generally both parents – or the sole legal guardian are required. The consent form can be downloaded from www.covid19.mc.
Vaccination sessions will be organised on site for residents of homes for the elderly.
