Minister: If the coronavirus vaccine found, it won't be mandatory in Greece

There’s no vaccine for COVID-19 even on the horizon yet but if one is discovered and made available it won’t be mandatory in Greece but “strongly recommended,” Health Minister Vassilis Kikilias noted.

Greece has anti-vaccination camps – like others in the United States and other countries where vaccinations are viewed as government conspiracies, so-called Anti-Vaxxers opposing the use of injections to protect the population.

Kikilias said if there’s a vaccine it would first be offered to the highest-risk segments of society, the elderly and those with underlying conditions, who more easily succumbed to Covid-19.

“Who are they? Our older fellow citizens and vulnerable groups fulfilling the conditions to be vaccinated as a priority,” Kikilias told TV station SKAI. “There is now question of vaccine sufficiency and there is no mandatory vaccination, but a strong recommendation,” he continued.
