Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis urged “the few remaining vaunvaccinated people over the age of 60 to take that step and get inoculated,” during a visit to Megara health center, in Attica, on Saturday.

“A 90 pct, that is 9 in 10 people over 60 have been vaccinated,” he added, noting that fines for those who do not get inoculated will go ahead as announced (deadline for vaccination appointments expires on Sunday, January 16).

“I want to emphasize that from the moment we imposed this mandatory measure, almost half of those who had not been vaccinated made the right choice to be inoculated. So this measure was successful. We want to increase vaccination rates in the sensitive age group of those over 60,” he noted during a conversation with health employees.

Mitsotakis stressed that vaccination against the coronavirus remains an absolute priority, despite the fact that epidemiological data shows a prospect of de-escalation.

“All current intubations are primarily Delta mutation cases, and the vast majority of this problem still concerns our unvaccinated fellow citizens,” he added.

Earlier, Mitsotakis visited the Megara police station, where he was briefed on actions against crime in the area.
