In today’s briefing on the course of the pandemic in the country, Professor of Pediatric Infectious Diseases and Expert Committee member Vana Papaevangelou was asked if vaccination against Covid-19 will be mandatory when it arrives in Greece. “We are standing, vaccination will be voluntary. After all, our constitution prohibits it from being mandatory. We trust in persuasion ”, he clarified.
Previously, Vana Papaevangelou spoke about the vaccination program in the UK, but also about the British history of mass vaccination in the last 20 years and the quick reflexes they have shown. He even stressed that “mass vaccination saves lives.”
Papaevangelou: That is why we suggest opening schools after the Lights.
Vana Papaevangelou, at the same time, after mentioning the daily domestic data and that the last day 250 new cases were registered in Attica, 243 in Thessaloniki and 102 in Kilkis, analyzed the logic around the suggestion of the experts for the opening of schools after the Lights.
“Despite the slow improvement in the epidemiological panorama in the country, we suggest postponing the opening of schools for two reasons. The most important criterion since the beginning of the pandemic is the image in the ICU and the image in the ICU has not improved. Therefore, any mobility in and out of schools could create problems.
The benefit of opening schools was also questioned as there were 7 days left until the Christmas holidays. Our decision does not invalidate the position that schools are the last to close and the first to open. Distance learning works great, but nothing compares to lifelong learning. We continue to argue that there is no transmission in schools, especially in primary education. That is why we suggest opening schools after the Enlightenment ”.
Papaevangelou: this Christmas could be the best of our lives
Finally, he closed his informative exhibition with an appeal to the public: “Recognizing everyone’s fatigue, we must be patient, be faithful to the measures, take care of ourselves and those around us. One asymptomatic host in a home is sufficient to spread the infection throughout the home. This Christmas can be the best of our lives, more closed and more familiar ”.
