The population of three peripheral units of the Peloponnese – Achaia, Corinth, Laconia – corresponds to the approximately 520,000 citizens over the age of 60 who remain unvaccinated and therefore unprotected against COVID-19, greekcitytimes.com reports.
It is reminded that according to yesterday’s announcements by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, unvaccinated citizens over 60 years should have made an appointment for the first installment by January 16, 2022, or face a monthly fine of €100.
This is undoubtedly a population that pays a very high price, with its health and with its own life, electing not to be vaccinated while the COVID-19 pandemic is underway.
It is indicative that during the last two months, 82.4% of the patients who lost the battle with the COVID-19 in the hospitals are over 65 years old.
Of the 3,329 deaths from the pandemic in October and November, 2,746 were in this age group, and the vast majority were unvaccinated.
