All natural persons who have their domicile or habitual residence within the Greek territory and have been born until 31.12.1961 must have received the first or the only dose of vaccine (for the single-dose Johnson & Johnson) against covid-19 until January 16, 2022, otherwise an administrative fine of 100 euros is imposed. The completion of the vaccination cycle must be done according to the prescribed procedures and at the prescribed time.
By decision of the Minister of Health, the date may be modified in order for the measure to be applied to natural persons who reach the 60th year of their age after 31.12.2021.
However, since the announcement of the obligation, more than 200,000 citizens have been vaccinated and a total of 90% of citizens over the age of 60 have been vaccinated or have made an appointment.
The administrative fine of 100 euros
In case of non-compliance with the vaccination obligation, an administrative fine of 100 euros per month is imposed from 17 January. Especially for the month of January 2022, for the violation of the obligation, an administrative fine of 50 euros is imposed.
In case of the first installment up to the 15th day of the month and the completion of the vaccination cycle according to the prescribed procedures and at the prescribed time, especially for this month, an administrative fine of 50 euros is imposed. In case of the first installment from the 16th day of the month onwards, the full fine is imposed.
Penalties are lifted from the first day of the month following the first installment. In case of non-completion of the vaccination cycle, according to the foreseen procedures and in the foreseen time, the penalties are imposed from the time point of establishment of the relevant obligation.
The relevant fine is certified and collected without delay by the Independent Public Revenue Authority in accordance with the Public Revenue Collection Code.
The resources raised from the imposition of sanctions are used exclusively to strengthen the National Health System, in the context of the treatment of coronavirus COVID-19.
Reasons for exemption from compulsory vaccination
-Those who have been ill for a period of 180 days from the illness
-Those who have applied for vaccination at home and have not been vaccinated yet
-Those who have been vaccinated abroad. The registration of their vaccination is done through the website anagnorisi.emvolio.gov.gr
-Those who have proven health reasons that prevent the vaccine from being given. The three-member committees in each Health District are responsible for making the decision to exempt from the mandatory vaccination. Applications for exemption from compulsory vaccination for medical reasons were submitted by January 14, 2022.
Applications must be answered within an exclusive period of seven calendar days. The decision is notified electronically to the applicant and the treating physician. During the period from the submission of the application until the decision is issued by the competent health committee, no sanctions are imposed due to the non-vaccination.
On January 28, all citizens who make a rejection decision must have made the first installment in order not to be charged the fine.
