Vaccinations – The process begins for the vulnerable groups. the ages 70-74 and 65-69 to follow

“In the coming days, the platform for registering for the vulnerable groups will be opened,” government spokeswoman Aristotle Peloni said about the vaccination during an interview with MEGA.

“Prioritization has been announced by the National Vaccination Committee. The age groups of 70-74 and 65-69 years will follow. By the end of April, we estimate that all our fellow citizens aged 60 and over and vulnerable groups will have been vaccinated, at least with one dose. “This allows us to look at this summer with greater optimism,” said Ms. Peloni.

Asked about possible new measures, Ms. Peloni reminded that all government decisions follow developments at the epidemiological level based on the recommendations of experts. “Unfortunately, we are subject to this unprecedented crisis and it seems that we have at least ten days to two difficult weeks ahead of us. So we are waiting to see the developments, hoping that we are heading towards the end of this unprecedented adventure. Already, however, there seems to be a reduction in serious illness in older groups, 80 and older. “Obviously, this is the result of the vaccination, which, as they progress, will become more apparent,” he said.

Priority is given to the opening of retail

At the same time, the government spokeswoman stressed the priority maintained by the opening of retail, is always subject to epidemiological data. “Depending on the developments, it will be the first to reopen, because – I remind you – it is a safe operation. Retail operated in an exemplary manner, with the rules being respected by customers and of course by businesses and shopkeepers. “It’s a safe release,” she said.
