The regulation came into force on Monday night. According to the state broadcaster, around 300,000 people are affected by the measure. Your data should now be forwarded by the state social security system to the tax office, which collects the fines. The money then goes to the state hospitals. In Greece, the vaccinations administered are stored in a personalized database.
The government already rates the measure as a success: Since the announcement of penalties a good six weeks ago, around 217,000 over 60-year-olds have been vaccinated. This increased the vaccination rate in this age group to 90 percent.
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, on the other hand, ruled out compulsory vaccination for other age groups on the grounds that it was mainly the elderly who were seriously ill with Covid and had to be treated in hospitals.
