Greece has begun imposing a fine on those 60 and over who are unvaccianted against COVID-19, in a bid to accelerate the lackluster take-up doses. From Monday fines up to $114 will be issued to those found to be unvaccinated.
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis made a last moment plea over the weekend for unvaccinated to get their jab.
“All Greeks over the age of 60 that have not been vaccinated, will have to get at least the first jab until January 16, I repeat, until January 16. They are our priority. If they don’t, every month that goes by they get a fine of $114 which will be immediate in effect from the day I announced earlier,” said Mitsotakis
