The fourth dose of a vaccine against Covid-19 will likely be necessary, especially for vulnerable groups, Greece’s Health Minister Thanos Plevris said on Monday, according to greekreporter.com.
Speaking on SKAI television he noted that the government and his counterparts in Europe envisaged something along the lines of the seasonal flu shot, without having to repeatedly invite the population to get vaccinated.
“I consider it a given that there will be an issue of vaccinating the population, especially the vulnerable population, as we approach the months of autumn,” he pointed out.
He also said a decision by all European Union countries to defer deliveries originally planned for the summer until September because the pharmaceutical companies consider that “at that time …we will have a vaccine that is much more effective against Omicron.”
Whether this vaccination will be universal or target specific groups, he added, was a decision that would be made by the appropriate scientific bodies.
