As of the latest update by the Greek authorities, the total number of confirmed Covid-19 diagnosed cases in Greece is 393,583. 50 new deaths were reported raising the total number to 11,872. The number of patients treated in intensive care units is currently 556. 2,433 new cases were announced yesterday in Greece. 1,151 of the new cases were found in the Attica region and 225 new cases in the Thessaloniki region.
A new government campaign in Greece is expected to be launched next week with its central message being to encourage people to get vaccinated for Covid-19.
The ultimate aim is to build and complete Greece’s wall of immunity, which will minimize the risk of a new wave of the pandemic, and to ensure the normal and smooth operation of the economy and tourism.
The expediting of the vaccination program has become even more imperative due to increasing tourism on the islands and the mainland.
On Monday, Greek PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced that more than five million coronavirus vaccines have now been administered to people in Greece.
Although this does not mean that five million individuals in Greece have been fully inoculated, as that requires two doses of the mRNA vaccines, the country can proudly claim to have successfully administered five million coronavirus vaccines in total.
Mitsotakis celebrated the “Freedom” project and its success by tweeting about the topic on Tuesday.
The Secretary General for the Ministry of Health, Marios Themistocleous, shared a more analytical view of inoculation in the country thus far.
He announced that of the five million vaccines that have been administered in Greece, two million were from Pfizer/BioNTech, 740,000 were from AstraZeneca, 307,000 were from Moderna, and just 80,000 were from the recently re-approved vaccine manufacturer Johnson & Johnson.
The option of vaccinating children aged 12 or older will be discussed as soon as the European Medicines Agency (EMA) approves them, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Tuesday in statements following the conclusion of an EU summit.
Such a decision would “provide a new dynamic for vaccinations,” he told journalists.
He also noted that the European Commission has secured supplemental doses of Covid vaccines for 2022 and 2023, as a third dose might be necessary 9-12 months after the first shot.
Mitsotakis expressed his satisfaction that the proposal for a common certificate of Covid-19 vaccination was accepted by European leaders and expressed the hope the certificate will be implemented under common rules for all EU countries the soonest possible.
