The health official also said that the number of doctors and nurses who were vaccinated had risen significantly, and he detailed them as follows.

Vaccination percentages in the NHS:

Finally, people who have been administered the first dose of a vaccine outside of Greece can book their second-dose appointment at Citizen Services Centers (KEP) by submitting their vaccination certificate, noted Themistocleous.

He added that people are keeping their appointments for all vaccines (AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson), from 97% to 98%.
