On the 20th of the month we estimate that we have started the vaccinations. By then, all health professionals will have been vaccinated. ”
Mr. Aktypis wished good strength to the staff of the vaccination centers and stressed that he will give a lot of attention to make the whole process run smoothly “because it is a difficult task what we are starting to do regarding the process that we have to follow for vaccinations and which it must be utterly formal and we must be done carefully. “As said, there is no problem with the side effects and a very large number of people worldwide have been vaccinated at the moment and it does not seem that the vaccine is causing major problems.”
