Greece pauses mandatory shots for those over 60’s as pressure on hospitals eases

The obligation of citizens over 60 years of age to be vaccinated is being suspended, according to an amendment submitted on Wednesday by the Health Ministry, greekcitytimes.com reports.

Health Minister Thanos Plevris pointed out that the fines are being suspended as the specific measure had been imposed at the time because this category of people was burdening the National Health System.

Plevris noted the ministry is mulling ways to motivate people over 60 to get vaccinated. He also reiterated that all repealed measures to contain the spread of the coronavirus will be reviewed at the appropriate time.
