Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Saturday paid a visit to the Vaccination Mega Centre at the Helexpo exhibition centre in Maroussi, Athens where he thanked everyone involved in the roll-out of the “Eleftheria” vaccination programme against Covid-19, ANA reports.
“Yesterday we had done over 500,000 vaccinations and we have booked more than one million appointments. We are fully meeting the commitment we made to vaccinate our fellow citizens who want to be vaccinated as quickly as possible and with the maximum possible safety, depending on the number of vaccines we receive each week,” he said.
Mitsotakis inspected the first of the four giant vaccination centres that have been set up in order to greatly increase the daily capacity for vaccinations and thanked the armed forces that provided the personnel for the centre, which will initially operate between 8:00 in the morning and 20:00 in the evening.
Mitsotakis said that Greece is currently one of the top countries in Europe for daily vaccination rates, organised through an electronic procedure that involved minimal inconvenience for the public. He also emphasised the importance of convincing those that had doubts that the vaccines are safe and effective.
