The vaccine against covid-9 should reach 100% in the vulnerable groups, because they are the most vulnerable to Covid disease, said the Secretary General of Primary Health Care, Marios Themistokleous, during a press conference of the Patients’ Association of Greece on “Chronic Patients and Pandemic”.
“The vaccination rate in vulnerable groups exceeds 82%, when in fact the rate is higher than 90%, as some citizens have incorrectly joined these groups,” said Mr Themistocleous. He added: “Unfortunately, sometimes some doctors advise their patients not to get the vaccine yet and to wait. This should be done as clearly as possible. The vaccine should be given as soon as possible, in consultation with the treating physician. “.
An appeal “to trust science, and to carry out the vaccination that is currently the main weapon to deal with the pandemic”, made the professor of Political Health, dean of the School of Social and Political Sciences of the University of Peloponnese, K. Souliotis, and the representatives patient associations. The president of the Patients’ Association, Katerina Koutsogianni, stressed that the vaccine is the only weapon we have in our hands for the treatment of COVID-19, calling on everyone to be vaccinated immediately and to continue to observe the measures of personal protection.
