The “Secretary” for the expiration of vaccination certificates in case a joint decision is not reached at European level, was left on SKAI on Friday by the Secretary General of Primary Care of the Ministry of Health, Marios Themistokleous.
As he explained, a discussion for the expiration of the certificate has been opened both in the scientific part and in the administrative part. “In France, certificates expired at the age of 65, there is a discussion at the level of EU ministers, if there is no joint decision, our country can move in a different direction,” he said.
Regarding the possibility of a fourth dose, he commented that logically it will not be needed, as the up to scientific data say that with the third you will gain a permanent degree of immunity. “It has not been clarified, but logically so far it will probably not need a fourth,” he noted.
We have 225,000 to 230,000 first installments and about 300,000 third installments in the last 10 days. We have reached 55,000 vaccinations per day from 20,000 vaccinations per day, said the Secretary General of Primary Care. “This is very good, the aim is for it to continue beyond this week and to see it grow beyond 10 or 20 days, it is very important.”
Explaining the increase in vaccinations, he commented that one motive is the announcement of the measures, while the second is that due to the multiple cases, some people have run to be vaccinated, as they realized that the virus is here and “will not go away with a magic wand”.
It is, he stressed, even more important to vaccinate the elderly to make a third dose, the immunity of the vaccine decreases, especially in people over 60 years. He stated emphatically that the booster dose is mandatory for the immunocompromised in 1 month after the completion of the second vaccination.
“The platform for the third dose will open at 5.5 months to get a vaccine at 6 months, we will announce on Monday the exact date when the platform opens for the third dose, it needs a little technical adjustment”
“We have changed the vaccination centers to show the vaccine that everyone makes to facilitate the citizens,” explained Marios Themistokleous.
