Cyprus aspires to boost vaccinations against Covid-19 to 75% of the general population, Christina Yiannaki the Ministry of Health’s Permanent Secretary has said, noting that so far vaccinations have reached to 84.4% of the adult population and 9.5% in children aged 5 – 11 years.
Yiannaki attended a vaccination event for adults and children aged 5 – 11 years organised in the Larnaca port, noting that two years after the outbreak of the pandemic still “some people in Larnaca are proceeding to vaccination centres for their first Covid jab.”
She said the Ministry will hold an additional event in Larnaca aiming to increase vaccinations among children which is considered beneficial for the public health.
