Greece to vaccinate teenagers once experts give go-ahead
The Peninsula
ATHENS - Greece will start vaccinating teenagers once it gets the go-ahead from medical experts and will require vaccination certificates or negative tests from everyone heading to its islands from Monday, authorities said.
A small rise in infections last week and concerns over the more contagious Delta variant prompted the government to impose stricter rules to cover the islands. "The Delta variant is 100% more contagious than the original virus and 40% to 60% more contagious than the British variant," said Vana Papaevangelou, a member of the committee of infectious disease experts advising the government.More Related News
