In February, the forecast is for three times the number of coronavirus vaccinations in Greece, said the Minister of Health Vassilis Kikilias. He noted that in January 270,000 of our fellow citizens were vaccinated, the target had been 200,000. He added that February will be a difficult month, as it is the month of infections and viruses.
“In March we will do even more, and April, May, June we will massively vaccinate the Greek society. These are the months when we will have the process in full swing” said Mr. Kikilias. He also added “If it continues without interruptions and without other problems, the supply of the vaccine from European Member coming, hopefully by the beginning of the summer we will have vaccinated the vulnerable groups, the health, the elderly and we will have gone down to a significant number of our fellow citizens, such that we can say that we are looking forward to the summer with optimism “.
Health Minister Vassilis Kikilias, speaking to Sky, said that “we will continue to put pressure on companies, to talk and cooperate with Europe on a daily basis. The Prime Minister has been doing it repeatedly all this time, I have done it too, so that we have our vaccines here at the right time. “Whatever vaccine comes, it will be done immediately.”
Discussions with private doctors about vaccinations
We have fourfold possibility of vaccination: in Health Centers, in Hospitals, in mega vaccination sites and, if necessary, we have already started discussions with both private doctors and pharmacists, he added.
The statistics of scientists for the coronavirus around the world, say that those who are seriously ill and with high mortality rates, are the elderly and the vulnerable groups. Mr Vassilis Kikilias, emphaised: “If we, then, can vaccinate these 2 million people first, the elderly, the vulnerable groups, those who have underlying diseases,we will see a different dynamic in our country. Because those who are at risk first of all are admitted to the ICU, spend an average of 20 days in the ICU this will be at a much lower rate, because they will be vaccinated.
Concern about the mutations of the virus
The Minister of Health stressed that two things concern him: “One is, I see that there is an issue in Greece with the mutations. Now we find them everywhere. The second issue is that people are tired,”
“I want to appeal once again. Attention, attention, attention! There are two difficult months left. We must respect the measures of individual protection, we must take care of each other “, stressed Vassilis Kikilias.
