According to local media reports on June 15, Simistolos, the secretary-general of the Greek Ministry of Health in charge of primary health care, told the media that starting from June 16, the official vaccination appointment platform will be open to the age group of 18 to 24 years old. Starting from the end of June, the Greek health department will arrange for contracted private doctors to come to the door to vaccinate people with limited mobility with a single dose of , Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine. In addition, people who have been infected with the new coronavirus and have recovered should also receive the new coronavirus vaccine.
Simistoros said that so far, about 10,000 people have applied for COVID-19 vaccine by using Greek temporary medical insurance numbers. He also said that if Greek citizens have received the first dose of the new crown vaccine abroad, they can submit their first dose of vaccination documents so that the second dose of the vaccine can continue to be vaccinated in Greece.
Greece Minister of Development and Investment Georgiady said in an interview with local TV stations on June 15 that Greece has one of the countries with the highest COVID-19 vaccination rate in the world. If the vaccination rate reaches 80% of the population, the pandemic will end. He also reiterated that if a fourth round of epidemic occurs, the new lockdown measures will have a catastrophic impact on the Greek economy, so this situation must be avoided by getting the new crown vaccine. But he stressed that whether to fire unvaccinated employees is the business of the company and has nothing to do with the government, and the government will not legislate on this.
, Chairman of the Greek National Vaccination Committee, Maria Theodoridu, said on June 14 that since Greece already has sufficient number of COVID-19 vaccines, and the epidemiology is in good condition, the number of cases of COVID-19 is steadily declining, so the National Vaccination Committee does not recommend vaccinating AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines to Greece under the age of 60.
She said that people under 60 who have not been vaccinated yet are recommended to use the three brands of vaccines: Pfizer , Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson; but for those who have received the first dose of AstraZeneca vaccine , regardless of age, they should continue to receive the second dose of the same brand of vaccine, because it is extremely rare to have side effects after receiving the second dose of vaccine. Replacing the second dose of vaccine brand should be targeted at those who have experienced serious side effects after receiving the first dose of AstraZeneca .
