The Greeks’ coronavirus vaccination plan was announced by Health Minister Vassilis Kikilias in the context of positive announcements about Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.
Mr. Kikilias explained that the vaccine will be free for everyone as it is considered a public good. Furthermore, the vaccines will be delivered to all EU countries at the same time, and will be priced the same for all Member States.
EU Vaccine Agreements
There will be a central supply of vaccines from the European Union and thus they will reach Greece.
The EU has signed agreements with Pfizer, Biontech, Astra Zeneca, Sanofi and Johnson & Johnson, and is in talks with other companies. A pre-purchase agreement has been signed with the first two, since the effectiveness of their experimental vaccine is 90%.
