Greece will use the Pfizer mRNA vaccine as a booster shot, the chair of the Greek National Vaccination Committee announced on Monday.
Maria Theodoridou said that citizens who received the Astra Zeneca vaccine in the first vaccination phase will be given the Pfizer vaccine as a booster.
A decision on what booster would be administered to people who received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine the first time round would be taken in the coming days, she said.
The roll-out of booster vaccines had already begun among immunosuppressed citizens and would soon be made available to people in nursing homes, citizens over 60 and healthcare workers, she said.
A bill allowing irregular migrants living in Greece to get vaccinated against Covid-19 without the fear of being deported is being introduced to a parliamentary committee on Monday.
The legislation, submitted by the Health Ministry, stipulates that third-country nationals or stateless persons residing without legal documents in Greece, or migrants with a pending deportation order cannot be expelled when they come forward for a coronavirus jab.
At the same time, migrants submitting their personal data for the issuance of a temporary social security number will be exempt from checks of their residence and work permits.
The bill also allows social services, community centers and the immigrant integration centers to issue temporary social security numbers without requiring the physical presence of the person making the request, as well as from other administrative structures of the general government.
The same bodies, as well as migrant identification camps, pre-departure and detention centers will be able to issue digital vaccination certificates.
