Vaccinations with the latest booster shot against Covid-19 began on Wednesday in Greece for priority groups with the country’s expert committee also approving the 5th dose for people aged 30-59.
The Greek government will temporarily suspend the use of Covid-19 vaccination and recovery certificates in Greece as of May 1, according to Health Minister Thanos Plevris.
The Greek government is considering to harmonize Greece’s domestic validity period of vaccination and recovery certificates with the expiration dates recommended by the EU.
People vaccinated 7 months ago with a one- or two-dose vaccine will need to receive a booster shot to retain their vaccination certificates after February 7.
Increasing Covid-19 vaccination reach and completing crucial infrastructure are key for Greece's tourism recovery, according to AEGEAN CEO Dimitris Gerogiannis.
Skiathos is setting the example with nearly 95% of its population vaccinated against Covid-19, said Greek Tourism Minister Harry Theoharis during his recent visit to the island.
