The professor of Pulmonology and Intensive Care of the Medical School of the University of Athens stated to SKAI that he was clearly opposed to the extension of the duration of the certificates. Theodoros Vasilakopoulos.
“Certificates, as they go, is a relaxation mechanism to make the market work better “he noted, but clarified that” the government, however, takes into account many parameters “.
“At a time when the National Vaccination Committee has not yet decided on a fourth dose, I realize the extension of the duration of the vaccination certificate … When we follow the Americans of the FDA and the CDC, I think that this could be reconsidered “ said the professor.
“The immunity that Omicron leaves is of much shorter duration, 1 to 2 months. We have many re-infections… So the extension of the disease certificate to the semester is not based on the criterion of complete health protection of the vaccinated, but the trouble-free operation of the restaurant “he commented.
Mr. Vasilakopoulos underlined that those over 50 are vaccinated in the USA with a fourth dose, that is, 4 months after the third. “Now we have to vaccinate the most vulnerable, now to give the fourth dose for those over 60 or over 50. To give the right to those who want to be vaccinated prophylactically, not to be banned “.
