Thanks for another informative article. Mary and I got our second shots in the US last week. We consider ourselves fortunate, given that so many people around the world don't have the same access.

Also, I just sent you a PM on expat exchange with an unrelated question.

Have a great day!

Mike

Hi Mike, I checked expatexchange and I don't see anything. You can contact me directly at any time at ncwhiteman@gmail.com. Glad to hear you and Mary got your shots. Be well, Nanc

Getting that all-important 'Número de Utente', your registration number for the national health services (SNS), got easier in the last month. I shared the process, the required documents and where to submit information at the FB group Americans & Friends in Portugal. Registration is open for the first time to people who haven't yet received their Residence Permits. SNS is the single source for the COVID-19 so this is really important!

Hi Susan, I really appreciate the information. I tried to follow the instructions specifically those to the Lisbon Area site lxcentral.inscricoes@arslvt.min-saude.pt and unfortunately hit a dead end. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Obrigada

That's an email address, to which you'd send the required documents, to register for your Número. I'm also in Cascais and fall under that email address.
