GREEK VACCINE ROLLOUT

Experts believe the advent of the COVID-19 Delta variant is one of the main reasons that the Greek vaccine rollout (Operation Freedom) must be expedited with the aim of building an effective wall of immunity within 60 days.

The government, aside from ensuring enough doses for the entire population, must find a more effective way to get its message across to those who refuse to be vaccinated that vaccines are necessary and secure.

If privileges for vaccinated citizens can be used as a tool to advance understanding among those who are still reluctant to be vaccinated, then they are not only just – they are necessary.

The global scientific community has maintained and confirmed, especially in the case of the UK, the view that the benefits of the AstraZeneca vaccine far exceed the drawbacks.

We twist nose swabs in our nostrils and our children’s. With needles and pins in the hands after vaccination, at work we have a rapid test twice weekly along with a daily statement that you don’t have COVID-19.

Greece ranks 26th out of 30 European countries in terms of the percentage of the population vaccinated with at least one dose (24.4 percent) according to ECDC data released on 5 May and published today by in.gr.
