Update: The Undersecretary of Health, Hugo López-Gatell, reported that from now on the application of the booster vaccine against covid-19 will require prior registration to expedite the application of doses in vaccination centers. https://www.milenio.com/politica/registro-adultos-mayores-dosis-refuerzo-vacuna-covid
To register for a booster, provide your CURP in the box that says:
- I am 60 years of age or older and request a vaccination booster.
(- Tengo 60 años o más y solicito el refuerzo de vacunación.)... and follow the steps.

Make sure VPN is turned off. (More below.)

For the booster registration, when you are done, if you get a blank screen instead of starting a document downloading process, wait a few minutes and start the process over from the beginning. That happened to me and when I did it the second time it worked fine.

Download and print your booster registration document and bring it with you. It will look something like this:

The registration for the vaccination against COVID of those 40+ has started.
You want to get your name on the list, but it is not "first registered, first vaccinated." Registering and printing the confirmation can speed your process at vaccination time.

Each and every older adult is going to be vaccinated, they do not need to reserve their place in line. ... some people thought that the order in which they were registered would be the order in which they would be vaccinated. Don't think that, because it would be wrong. The order in which they appear at registration time has nothing to do with the order in which they are vaccinated. — Hugo López-Gatell

Background
To register for the Covid Vaccine in Mexico currently requires a CURP number. Residents (permanent and temporary) and citizens have a CURP number. Those on a tourist visa do not. Those without a CURP can not register, but as we saw in the previous round, many people without a CURP were able to get vaccinated.

Before you start, you need to have your CURP number. I suggest you review the section Locating and verifying your CURP below. You will also need a Mexican phone number (you must enter 10 digits so there is no room to enter a country code) where you or someone you trust can later take a call for you with your appointment information.

If this is your first time here, read through this entire post before you start.

These instructions mention a 'Guardar' button. That is no longer there. When you have registered and get a confirmation screen, copy it, take a screen shot or otherwise save that information -- you may need it later.

Also, tap the Comprobante ('Voucher') button to get a pdf file with the confirmation information. Save and print this file -- you will need it when you go for the vaccine.

If you can not open the website or get an error like '403 Forbidden' it is may be because it is saturated or offline for maintenance ... try again later. Except if you get '403 Forbidden' and have VPN turned on, turn it off and try again.

Which vaccine will I get?
We don't know at this time which vaccine will be used for any particular person, place or date.

What does it mean to be registered?
It means that you are on the list.

Turn off VPN. Confirmed.
I've seen a couple of reports that people are not able to access the website with VPN turned on. I did several tests and that seems to be the case (I got '403 Forbidden' errors with VPN on and did not with it off). If you do not know what VPN is, this probably (?) does not apply to you. Someone would have had to set it up. A VPN creates a secure connection between your computer and the internet and hides your IP address / location. This is commonly used here to watch movies and use other US restricted services that are otherwise not allowed here.

I have also seen '403 Forbidden' errors without VPN enabled.

Note that even when I set the VPN location to be within Mexico it did not work -- I got a '403 forbidden' error. Turning VPN off, fixed that.

Switch Browsers. Maybe.
If you've been using the site and it has not been working, some have reported that switching to a different browser or a different device has helped. I have seen reports of these browsers working: Brave, Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari. Even if you are using one of these, the idea is to try using a different browser if one has not worked for a while.

On the other hand, there are also reports that the site just started working without changing browsers (that was my experience).

Don't translate the site. Maybe.
I've seen a couple of suggestions that translating the site in your browser may cause an issue. I don't know if that's the case but, if you are having issues with the site translated, try using it without translation.

Locating and verifying your CURP.
It doesn't seem to like my CURP or thinks I'm not 40+. What should I do?
The number is on your Mexican Driver's License and Permanent or Temporary Resident Card. At least it is on mine.

Make sure you entered the CURP correctly including getting Ohs and Zeros right ('O' versus '0'; letter versus number) right. One way to do that is to copy and paste it from someplace else where it is correct. Letters versus numbers is only an issue for the last two digits of the CURP which can be either numbers or letters. The web site currently validates that the other positions are of the right type (numbers versus letters). Still, copy and paste is a good way to make sure the whole thing is right.

To get a good version to copy-and-paste from and to locate and verify that you have the right CURP (and that it is in the system), try going to the Check Your Curp site. You can type in your CURP or find it by using your Personal Data (name, date of birth, etc). See Locating and Printing Your Mexican CURP, including the comments, for instructions.

Once you do that and have verified that your CURP is correct, try using that (copy-n-paste for best results). If that still gives you an error about your CURP then I think it is an error in the system and, for now, I would hope the error gets fixed and I would try again tomorrow.

San Miguel de Allende (or my city) is not an option.
Select the State/Entity from the dropdown first (Guanajuato for folks in SMA), then select the Municipality. It may take a moment for the list of Municipalities to load -- they will change based on the state selected.

Just to be clear, order matters. You must select the State/Entity first. The list of cities in the list depends upon the state being selected.

Here is how I filled out the Location section (Entity/State and Municipality are selected from the dropdowns). Select Entity/State before Municipality.

I typed in my CP (for where I live in San Rafael):


I forgot to get a PDF file / Voucher / Confirmation. Can I get one now?
Yes. If you registered successfully, go back to the site, enter your CURP, do the robot thing, press Confirmar CURP and your confirmation will come right up (if the site is not overloaded).
Then press Comprobante ('Voucher') button to get a pdf file with the confirmation information.

I registered for over 60 but did not get it. Do I have to register again?
No, as I understand it you don't need to register again and can't register again. But to make sure ...

You can verify that you are already entered in the system by returning to the site and entering your CURP. It will tell you if you are already registered. https://mivacuna.salud.gob.mx/index.php . While there, you can also get your registration information downloaded and printed if you have not already done so.

If it does not show you as already registered, proceed with the registration.
