In this article Blesk will give you some helpful tips, how to get this done easily.
Interested parties can register through the Central Registration System, where a separate application form is at registrace.mzcr.cz/samoplatci. The payment will be done on the spot for the vaccine and the maximum price of one dose including application shall not exceed CZK 810.

Who can get vaccinated from friday?
A person not insured within the public health insurance system of the Czech Republic can register for vaccination if they are citizen of the Czech Republic or a foreigner (from the EU or third countries) who has long term residence in the Czech Republic for more than 90 days pursuant to the Act on the Residence of Foreign Nationals, and who meets one of these conditions:
- has a valid long-term or permanent residency permit in the Czech Republic
- holds a valid long-term visa
- is an EU citizen with confirmation of temporary residency or a permanent residency permit in the Czech Republic
- is a family member of an EU citizen with confirmation of temporary residency or a permanent residency permit in the Czech Republic.
How to register?
By registration, you express real interest to get yourself vaccinated. Please visit registrace.mzcr.cz. On the first page, you can see cohorts eligible for a vaccination. Scroll down and insert your phone number and confirm consent to personal data processing. You will receive a PIN after the confirmation, then please insert your PIN, fulfill everything needed, and select vaccination point.
If you make a typo during the registration, you can correct the mistake here: registrace.mzcr.cz/detail. Registration is only the first phase, and it does not mean that you have a vaccine slot reserved now. If you want to check the occupancy rate of vaccine centers, you can do it here.
Waiting for an SMS reminder
After the registration, you need to wait some time for an SMS reminder including PIN2. Waiting times may differ based on the capacity of the specific vaccination center/vaccination point.
Reservation
After receiving an SMS reminder including PIN2, you have 42 hours to complete your reservation and no worries, you will be notified a few times during that period. Then insert your health insurance number and PIN2 and you can choose from the available vaccination slot. Please do not forget to confirm your reservation. If you fail to complete your reservation within 42 hours, registration itself stays but your vaccine slot does not. Once the next vaccine slots are available, you will be notified with new SMS including a new PIN2. You have 3 attempts (each 42 hours long) to finish your reservation. Otherwise, your registration will be canceled. This is to prevent system overload with requests of individuals no longer interested in vaccination.
What to bring with you?
You should bring a document to verify your identity, a document to verify your residence permit in the Czech Republic and a payment card or cash (some vaccination centers only accept payment by card).
