I see that COVID cases are increasing again.
Does anyone know if COVID Booster injections are currently available? - and if they are, where?

just from this week onwards the new BionTech XBB.1.5 vaccine is available.. in Germany.
so, it will, most probably, take weeks/month until this stuff will be available in NC... and "who" will buy it and deliver (for free??) to NC?

Interesting - but you need a ROC telephone number to register on the website (& to receive an OTP by text) - it doesn't like TRNC or UK numbers.
I have had vaccinations in the South before (not COVID), simply by turning up at a ROC Health Centre and asking! - but for this it will be done by appointment (for simultaneous Flu and Covid vaccinations) or by visiting the ROC GP with whom you are registered - neither of which is available if you don't have a ROC GP or a ROC 'phone number ...

sorry, it was a quick search and i did not read in full...
a pity, as to offer both up to date (better: newest) vacs same time is very clever.
i guess the vacs are limited in numbers... so they have to be careful to reach the vulnerable only.
btw, what are the TCs with RoC passport doing?

Getting a TOM for a year - grrrrr. Only joking, I will ask my TC buddy next time I see him but I think they will be the same as us none TC's and will just wait for the table sweepings from the EU to arrive.

I suppose if they'll sell you a ROC SIM, it would take you one more step along the way - and presumably they DO sell SIMs to foreign holiday makers...
