consulta de enfermagem — nurse appointment
An appointment with a nurse rather than a doctor. This is what you book for a vaccination: in Portugal injections are given by nurses, who also keep the vaccination record and enter vaccinations given in another country into the system. You can book at the reception of your health centre and, in many places, by email.
Where you come across it. A vaccination for an adult, a dressing change, a blood pressure check, injections prescribed by a doctor.
For vaccines on the schedule you need neither a referral nor a prescription: booking with a nurse is enough. Nor do you need your own family doctor for this.
