Vaccination in vulnerable groups is expected to take place in the second half of March, while in early April the vaccination of citizens in age groups 70-74 and 65-69 will begin.
However, in April, all citizens who were vaccinated in the first quarter of the year are expected to be vaccinated.
In particular, the vaccination of people with underlying high-risk diseases, regardless of their age, will begin in the coming days.
Are:
– Transplant patients, as well as people on the waiting list for an organ transplant.
– People on dialysis or peritoneal dialysis with stage 5 chronic kidney disease.
– Patients with cystic fibrosis.
– Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, radiotherapy or immunotherapy or other treatment, as well as hematological cancer in the last five years.
– With severe chronic respiratory problems.
– With severe liver disease, immunosuppression and other diseases, including Down syndrome.
This will be followed by the group of people aged 70 and over and then people aged 65 and over with the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, while those aged 60 to 64 have already started vaccination with the Astra Zeneca vaccine.
Vaccination of people aged 18 to 59 with underlying risk problems, such as heart problems, diabetes, morbid obesity, kidney disease, chronic liver disease, will start almost simultaneously. This group will be vaccinated according to age criteria, but the procedures are expected to be quick.
Speaking with SKAI, Secretary General Thanasis Kontogeorgis pointed out that citizens over 60 years of age and those suffering from serious diseases will have been vaccinated in early May.
Mr. Kontogeorgis affirmed that in the next few days it will be announced how people with serious illnesses will be certified to follow the series of vaccinations, noting that the corresponding list has already been prepared by means of an intangible prescription and IDIKA, however it will be announced how it can be included in the list if it has not been identified by the competent state services.
He estimated that the platform for vulnerable groups will open in the second half of March and a few days later it will open for citizens aged 70-74 and 65-69 years.
Mr. Kontogeorgis noted that depending on the availability and type of vaccines, pharmacies and private doctors will be involved in the process, however, the relevant announcements will be made after April.
“The key” for tourism are vaccines
Vaccination remains the “key” to opening the market and tourism.
So far, more than 1,100,000 citizens have been vaccinated, while some 370,000 have received the second dose.
April and May are the big bets of vaccination.
