Query on Covid vaccination for under 60s

Last year in Spain, once the tranche of vaccinations for older folk etc had been done, they announced that under 60s could also get one on request at their local health centre. ( For avoidance of doubt, I'm talking about Spanish SIP card holders. ) Has anyone seen any similar announcements this year?
Also, for information, what's the usual age for eligibility for a flu vaccine from the Health centre?

Like most countries, only those over 60 will get the covid vaccine this year unless they have serious, underlying conditions.

Flu vaccine is the same but you can purchase one from a pharmacy (like you can in UK) and the nurse at the medical centre will administer it. You can't purchase a covid vaccine.

Unless the situation changes, there are no plans to give them to the under 60s although those in nursing homes, prisons, health workers and emergency workers will be offered them.

Thanks for the info

Just an update and not wishing to push out a magnet.
Flu and covid vaccines are now available to everyone, not just the over 60s. You are to make an appointment at the health centre according to the health authorities.

Flu cases are up 36% at the moment and the hospitalisations have risen 75% in the last couple of weeks. The groups most affected are those under 1 year and those over 80.

Just letting you know my 53 year old wife had her Flu and Covid jabs today after receiving text message to go to the Salud in Rojales

Due to the increase in respiratory diseases, from Monday you will be able to obtain the flu or covid vaccine at your health centre without making an appointment. Simply turn up and you will be given them.

This comes after the Alicante hospital was overwhelmed with patients and they had to turn people away who were waiting for routine procedures although they say they have managed to rearrange the appointments very quickly.

The only other hospital in the province to be overwhelmed was the Marina Baixa hospital at Villa Joyosa.

They are also discussing the mandatory use of facemasks again at medical centres and hospitals.
The Minister of Health has said it is normal for up to the 4th week in January to swamp the services with flu cases but the extra addition of covid and other respiratory is adding more strain.

Torrevieja hospital already has signs advising the use of facemasks in waiting rooms and for visits. They have also increased the capacity of the rooms from 1 to 2 to cope with the extra cases.

Further to yesterday, it is now mandatory to wear facemasks in medical centres and hospitals.
