Health workers in both the public and private sectors will get no extension to their obligation to be vaccinated, State Minister Akis Skertsos said on Monday in an interview on Skai TV, adding that they still have time to be vaccinated, ANA reports.
“I hear what the health workers say, that they believe in the vaccine and want to do it. We are saying that they have time both today and tomorrow – those few thousands who remain unvaccinated, mainly – they still have time to set an appointment and go get vaccinated today or tomorrow. Since they believe this, there will be no problem with their jobs or the function of the National Health System (NHS),” Skertsos said.
But “there is no option for an extension,” he added, as “the obligation to be vaccinated formally goes into effect on September 1. Those who remain unvaccinated will, unfortunately, have to be removed from their positions.”
