Greece’s Digital Governance Minister Kyriakos Pierrakakis referred to the prepaid Freedom Pass that will be given to young people aged 18 to 25 on their smartphones when they are vaccinated, at the government’s presentation of the measures to provide incentives for vaccination against Covid-19, ANA reports.
The digital card will be credited with 150 euros stored in a smartphone digital wallet. As the minister noted, “we encourage young people to travel and attend cultural events”. The Freedom Pass will be available before the last third of July for those born between 1996 and 2003 who are either fully vaccinated, have got their first shot of the vaccine, or go for vaccination.
Pierrakakis explained that the amount can be used for purchases via e-commerce, e-shops, and for all POS transactions and will be targeted toward specific activities, such as air and sea travel, car rental, camping, hotels, travel agencies, museums, and others.
