The Deputy Minister of Digital Government, Giorgos Georgantas, analyzed the government’s plan for vaccines at SKAI and the MATCHES show, highlighting that 2,500,000 vaccines will have been delivered by the end of April.
“So far, 1,126,000 vaccines have been administered and another 1,400,000 appointments have been scheduled.” A total of 373,000 citizens have received both doses of the vaccine, “he said.
He added that from mid-April, with the expected flow of vaccines, the vaccine chain will be able to fully develop. “By the end of April, 2,500,000 vaccines will have been administered. At the moment it is 33,000-34,000 per day, but there is a possibility that this number will increase a lot, since we will have the Johnson & Johnson vaccine which is monosodium and we expect 1,200. 000 doses for the April-May-June quarter, and from Pfizer 1,071,000 quotas for April, ”said the Undersecretary of Digital Government.
He stressed that the program with vaccination appointments is going very well and people do not suffer, since either through pharmacies and the KEP or through the platform they close the appointment they want. “This is the first time that the State reaches the citizen in this way,” he emphasized.
In fact, he pointed out that by mid-May all citizens over 60 years of age and those belonging to vulnerable groups at high risk of disease, regardless of age, which are 270,000, will have been vaccinated. The platform for them will open in March.
Then the high-risk groups will follow and then the vaccination of the general population will follow.
“For those who cannot move and go to a vaccination center, at some point and depending on the availability and type of vaccines we will be able to turn to private doctors and pharmacists, so that these people can be vaccinated,” he added.
Regarding the new five-digit number 13032, Mr. Georgantas noted that the Ministry of Digital Government, in cooperation with the Ministry of Development, has the ability to operate it for retail trade but without abuse.
However, when it will start operating is up to the Infectious Diseases Committee. “The SMS is ready, it gives the possibility of one call per day with a specific period of time, which will be set by the Ministry of Development,” he concluded.
