Greece Considers Imposing Vaccine Mandate on All Over-50s
Just days after the Italian government announced it would be making vaccines mandatory for all residents over the age of 50, the Greek government is reported to be considering a similar policy.
Greece is reported to be considering making vaccination against the Wuhanc virus mandatory for all residents aged over 50 and is expected to make a formal announcement on the issue in the coming days.
Deputy Interior Minister Stelios Petsas stated on Friday that the policy was being actively considered, saying that “The decision to impose age criteria has paid off, and the age limits could be further lowered if this becomes necessary,” newspaper Ekathimerini reports.
In November, Greece mandated every resident over the age of 60 must take the coronavirus vaccine and introduced €100 (£85/$113) monthly fines for anyone over 60 not fully vaccinated after a deadline of January 16th. – READ MORE
