Greece:- vouchers worth 150Euros offered to our youth after first vaccination.

The Greek government announced it will offer a voucher worth 150 Euros to those born in the years 1996 up to the 2003, (18-25 year old group). The “freedom pass” will be available mid July for those born between 1996 and 2003 who have been vaccinated or who have been vaccinated with at least one dose or are about to be vaccinated.  It is also an incentive to increase the number of inoculations in our country.

The voucher known as “freedom-pass” by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis,
will cover costs in a number of field including, travel and entertainment, such as plane and ferry tickets, hotel bookings, music, theatre and cinema, museums and archaeological sites.

Presenting the card at the start of a meeting with ministers on Monday, the prime minister said he acknowledged the toll the long months of lockdown have had on the social life of young people.

“This is a debt to our youth, a gift of gratitude, particularly ahead of the summer. [It is] a ‘thank you’ for their patience and perseverance,” he told the ministers at the televised message. 

“At the same time, however, it is also an incentive for young people in particular to be vaccinated, who, by their very nature, contribute more to movement. And the more they are shielded, the more we will limit the transmission of the virus.”

Mitsotakis said this is especially true as countries are facing the more transmissible delta variant of the coronavirus, which targets primarily those who have not been vaccinated “but is threatening everyone.”

Those who take up the offer, will be able to submit their application for the voucher though the government online platform gov.gr, a day after they receive their first dose of the vaccine against covid, Digital Policy Minister Kyriakos Pierrakakis said at the presentation.
