People who do not have Slovak public health insurance but have a residence permit (tolerated, registered, temporary, long-term, permanent residence) in Slovakia: they need to fill in the number of their residence permit as an identifier in the registration form and show a residence ID before vaccination;
  2. Full-time university students in Slovakia without Slovak public health insurance: they need to fill in the number of their residence permit/ISIC number/passport number as an identifier in the registration form and show a confirmation of study at a university in Slovakia before vaccination;
