Vaccinations are proceeding smoothly and according to the program, stated the Scientific Officer of the Health Center, Mrs. Efi Damoulaki. The quantities are specific daily and there is no reduction of vaccines on our island. There are 40-50 scheduled vaccinations every day, while there are also days when there are 20 to 30, said Ms. Damoulaki.
AstraZenaca Vaccine
Regarding the issue of the AstraZeneca vaccine for the age group 60-64 years, Ms. Damoulaki said that the Zakynthos MP has undertaken to deal with the issue. He is convinced that the AstraZeneca vaccines will come, but the big vaccine centers are priority. We continue normally with Pfizer and in case it does not come we will continue with this vaccine but we are waiting for an official decision.
We must say that the platform in Zakynthos is open for the ages 75-79, while Ms. Damoulaki stressed that while teachers, physiotherapists, pharmacists and other specific specialties were initially allowed to be vaccinated.
Finally a new document came stating that the vaccinations of older ages must be completed first before moving onto other age groups.
In Attica, the staffing of the Vaccination Centers with health workers from the Municipalities is progressing and it is not excluded that such a thing may apply to the other prefectures as well as to Zakynthos.
Ms. Damoulaki said that something similar has been requested from the 6th Health District to the Municipality, ie to staff the vaccination centers.
