Citizens aged 40-44 will be able to book vaccination appointments for any of the coronavirus vaccines currently available in Greece as of Friday (May 21), Health Secretary-General Marios Themistocleous said on Monday during a regular live briefing, ANA reports.
These citizens were until now receiving only the AstraZeneca vaccine. All the vaccines that are already being administered throughout the country (AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, and Moderna) are essentially being gradually thrown into the availability pool for all age groups. With this in mind, and pending delivery of additional doses by pharmaceutical companies, more age groups will soon follow suit, noted the health official.
At least 4,377,000 inoculations have so far been carried out in Greece, including 2,817,000 citizens who have received at least one dose of a vaccine (26.8 pct of the population) and more than 1,615,000 citizens (15.4 pct of the population) who have completed their vaccination with a two-dose or a single-dose vaccine.
