The vaccination rate among medical staff and those over 60 years of age is rising, Health Secretary-General Marios Themistocleous said on Monday during a regular live briefing.
In addition, 58 pct of those over 60 are vaccinated. The vaccination rate reaches 73 pct if appointments for future vaccinations are included, the official said. Themistocleous also noted that over 23.7 pct of the population has been vaccinated at least once, while it is possible vaccinations will open for those over 18 in June, depending on deliveries.
Head of the National Vaccination Committee Maria Theodoridou said at the briefing that it is “too early to speak of vaccinating children” and it should not become obligatory in the future, either.
