My joke of a country did not order any from the updated vaccines for COVID-19, but still insists on keeping the state monopoly on it. We have private institutions where we can get pretty much any vaccine, but not COVID vaccines.

Is there any country where I could travel and get vaccinated as a tourist? Private service or otherwise.

My guess would be all of them, but health care systems are weird. I live in Germany and I'm 99% sure you could get the covid shot here. Foreign passport does not matter. Lacking insurance does not matter if you're paying. Can't see why not, except that doctors aren't really keen to take on new patients they'll never see again.

I got vaccinated at my local pharmacy in Munich...

In beginning of 2022 my non-EU girlfriend got the shot for free at a "Impfstation", they were glad to use the remaining doses. Even made her an Impfpass to get it recognized in her home country, showed her passport and nothing more. Good experience.

I know that when the Covid vaccine first got rolled out Serbia literally invited foreigners to get a shot there instead of waiting for their turn in their home country. Not sure about the situation there now, but it might be worth a look into it.

Oow tough one! Dutchie here. If you're longer than a month here you can get one free of charge. There's no open market where you xan buy it though.

UK it will be possible to buy the vaccine in the new year at some point but not currently. Assuming it works the same as the flu vaccine you can book and pay at Boots online ahead of time and just turn up.

Its really hard to get the vaccine for free for the more moderate at risk groups if you are under 65 now, it used to be over 50s.
