The Vaccination Portal is expected to open next Monday, to arrange appointments for people with diabetes who receive insulin and for obese people.
It is noted that the Vaccination Portal was scheduled to open today for these vulnerable groups, however, technical reasons prevented its opening.
In her statements to KYPE, the Press Officer of the Ministry of Health, Margarita Kyriakou, stated that the system is being upgraded, in order to enable the vulnerable groups to choose the vaccine they want.
19 thousand new appointments will be available
As he noted, the Gate is expected to open on Monday, while he added that 19 thousand appointments will be available to the specific teams.
According to Ms. Kyriakou, the Vaccination Portal will open at 08:00. He added that it will remain open for two to three days.
He also said that appointments will be available from all three vaccines (Phizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca), so that there is a choice.
At the end of next week, the Gate for those over 65 opens again
Ms. Kyriakou also said that a large amount of vaccines will be received from all three companies in early April, noting that the goal at the moment is to emphasize the coverage of vulnerable groups.
"In the first week of April, when we will have more vaccines, we will focus on the vulnerable groups, while for some weeks we will not proceed with the opening age," he said.
Regarding the vaccination for those aged 65 and over, Ms. Kyriakou said that it will start at the end of next week.
