Hello - 

I am flying to Spain next week, and will be living there permanently. I have not had my covid vaccination yet. As an expat, and non-EU national, how can I get a covid vaccination in Spain? Do I need to register with a doctor to get into the system? Do you know if the state pays it, or if I am charged? Is there some kind of registration system for getting vaccinated as a foreigner in Spain? Kind regards, Tom

Hello, my family and I plan on moving to the Philippines. Can anyone advise on the medical facilities available in the country?

However, I think when travelling abroad, insurance is a must. Will international health insurance be accepted or must I invest in a local policy? I am also curious as to whether specialised treatments are available or if insurance which covers medical expatriation is recommended.
