For those wishing to get vaccinated against the Covid-19 here in Panama, there now is a website discussing the Panamá Solidario "Movement" (basically how Panama is helping those affected by the pandemic, including healthcare, funds, food deliveries, etc.). Here is the link to the "top" of that website.

https://www.panamasolidario.gob.pa/

Then click on the "Vacunas" topic to register for the vaccination. Or you can click here to go directly to that page:

https://vacunas.panamasolidario.gob.pa/vacunas/

We have been told that Panama has established four "categories" (priorities) as to who gets the vaccinations in what order. We cannot find any specific details, so if someone can provide such a link or reference, please let us know. We have also been told that the first two categories will be the Pfizer vaccine, and likely that the third and fourth categories will be the Moderno vaccine, but that is not corroborated information.

We cannot document but suspect the first category will include first responders and the front line (medical and related personnel), etc. It is logical to think the second category will include seniors with comorbidity issues, such as hypertension, diabetes, respiratory issues, obesity, etc. Again, this is speculation on our part.

Finally, it is our understanding that there will be no charge for the vaccines. Registration involves only your cedula number, date of birth, and then on the second page some personal information as to mobility issues, pregnancy status, and comorbidity issues. If you do not have a cedula then we do not know if this website can be used. The website is totally in Spanish, however we found it easy to navigate. Registrants are required on a second page of the website to enter a cell phone number, and optionally a landline telephone, plus your location information, etc. If you do not have a cell phone, we are told that entering eight zeros in that field will allow the registration to proceed.

Disclaimer: This posting is not intended to recommend any action on your part as to whether you will or will not be vaccinated. That is a personal decision. This posting simply provides information for those wishing to be vaccinated or to learn more about how Panama is rolling out this program.

So...does anyone have any information in how one can register if we do not have a cedula, just a Carnet?   Neither Carnet nor passport is acceptable as ID.

Thank you very much for your response.  When I clicked on the link to DS-82, it came up with a different form format with no numbered items.  When I did a search for DS-82 01-2017, it showed a form which could not be filled out on line.  Don't know why the difference.  For mailing address, I hope it's OK to use the Box Shop in David, since I don't have one.  Does DHL then deliver my passport to the listed mailing address (i.e. the Box Shop)?  TIA for your response.

I'm a bit confused.  I see no Block #8 or Block #18 on Form DS-82.  Where would these be?

Hi Penny, 

I would like to purchase this packaging system.  pls check you email.  Thank you.

My best friend has gone missing.  He's a pure white short-haired cat with a patch of tabby on the right side of his face and the last half of his tail.  He also has one green eye and one blue eye -- gorgeous!  He has been an exclusively indoor cat, but somehow disappeared 2 days ago from our home in Jaramillo a few hundred yards from Lee Zeltzer's old home.  If any info, please message me on this forum.  Thank you,

Karen
