While that may sound like an April 1 joke, it turns out that it isn’t. On the night of March 31 to April 1, the Ministry of Health opened the registration for COVID-19 vaccinations for younger years. Michał Dworczyk first confirmed that everything was correct. However, he later reported that it was a system error. He also explained what about people who have already signed up.
- At night, on the website patient.gov.pl, there was an opportunity to sign up for vaccination by people from younger years, who were not included in the current schedule
- The situation at night and in the morning was confirmed by many internet users, the entries of people who successfully signed up for vaccination at night and in the morning multiplied on social networking sites. A person from the editorial office of MedTvoiLokony also managed to sign up
- However, there were voices in the network saying that this is a mistake of the Ministry of Health, a system error, and the planned vaccinations will not take place
- Michał Dworczyk first announced that there was no mistake, and the government opened vaccinations for the 40-60 age group
- Then he changed his mind. – Forty-year-olds who signed up for immunization on Thursday in April will be offered dates by phone in the second half of May. We should once again apologize for this systemic error – Dworczyk informed on Thursday.

On the night of March 31 and April 1, information about a system error or even a “miracle” related to the National Vaccination Program appeared on the Internet. It turned out that there were new vaccination dates for younger Poles.
The situation seemed bizarre, because registration was actually successful, but only to some people. In the editorial office of MedTvoiLokony, one person (born in 1981) was able to sign up for a vaccination with Pfizer on April 22. The recording was made via the Patient Portal (patient.gov.pl). After logging in, the website proposed the place and time of vaccination itself, but also gave the opportunity to choose. The entry has been confirmed by an SMS message and the visit appears in the system along with the referral. So the whole thing looked plausible.
A person born in 1993 also tried to register for the vaccination, but it was not possible.
Internet users commented on the matter with distrust, convinced that the Ministry of Health would quickly correct the error and that vaccinations, despite the set date, would not take place. We contacted the ministry and we were convinced that we can now officially write: this is not a joke, there is also no mistake. The Ministry of Health has really decided to allow vaccinations for people aged 40+.
– At night, we launched the option of signing up for vaccinations for the age of 40+ and 50+. These are people who previously filled in application forms for vaccinations. We have free schedules and we want to fill them in – we read in the reply we received from the Ministry of Health.

Dworczyk: we have launched registration for people aged 40-60
Changes in the National Vaccination Program in the “Morning conversation” at RMF FM after 8.00 were also confirmed by Michał Dworczyk.
– Tonight referrals for people 40-60 years old were issued – said Michał Dworczyk in the morning interview on RMF FM. In this way, the coordinator of the National Immunization Program confirmed that the registration for vaccinations for people born before 1982 started on Wednesday night, and the whole thing is not an April Fool’s joke or a mistake of the system.
Later, however, Michał Dworczyk changed his mind, which we could read about on Twitter at 10.08/XNUMX.
– Some people from the 40-59 group signed up for the April dates because there was a defect. Therefore, I am temporarily suspending my registration, for which we apologize. It cannot be that younger people will be vaccinated before seniors – said Minister Michał Dworczyk.
Dworczyk also explained what about people who have already managed to register for vaccination. It turns out that they will be able to receive the vaccine dose in May.
– We suspend the registration of this group 40-59 for a few hours, after removing the defect, we will unlock and each person will be called by an automatic machine or consultant proposing a date in the second half of the May. We are sorry for that, we will restore the system to full functionality in a few hours – we read on Twitter.
