Today marks one year since the beginning of the vaccination of the general population against Covid-19, which started on January 16, 2021 with the vaccination of citizens over the age of 85, points out in a Facebook post the Minister of Tourism Vassilis Kikilias.
In the post accompanied by a relevant video, Mr. Kikilias reminds that the Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, had instructed to prepare an operational plan early, so that when the vaccines for Covid would come to our country, “we would be able to vaccinate our fellow citizens, with security, organization and hierarchy “.
“This is exactly what I presented publicly on November 18, 2020 together with Maria Theodoridou and Marios Themistokleous”, he states. “A program that took place for the first time in the country, unprecedentedly complex, with great operational difficulties. The excellent organization, professionalism and self-sacrifice of doctors, nurses and administrators – those who fight the double battle between hospitalization and vaccination – are now a model for the way in which public administration should treat citizens: with respect, dignity and solidarity “, emphasizes Mr. Kikilias, who thanks both the people who work in Operation Freedom and the citizens.
“Today we have more than 18.3 million vaccinations. A big thank you from the bottom of my heart to the 30,000 health professionals who have participated in Operation Freedom and to all our fellow citizens “, he concludes.
