A total of 259,089 vaccinations
against COVID-19 (29.4 doses per 100 inhabitants) have been carried out until
April 27 in Cyprus, while the National Vaccination Plan against COVID-19 is progressing rapidly,
based on the available
quantities of the four licensed vaccines. According to data published by the ECDC, 193,882 (24.1%) vaccinations concern
the administration of the 1st dose, and 65,207 (7.9%) vaccinations concern
the administration of both doses. Aiming at the faster
vaccination coverage of a larger percentage of the population, the
Vaccination Centres are now working on extended
hours, with the ability to carry out up to 14,000 vaccinations per day,
based on the availability of vaccines. Our country has surpassed the target of 45 years of
age that had been initially set for the month of April, and is already proceeding with the
vaccination coverage of the age group of 30-39 as of 29 April. According to the schedule, the
Vaccination Portal will be available for the following age groups, as
follows:
The Vaccination Portal will be
accessible on the above dates and hours only for the ages mentioned in each case and not for
individuals of older ages. Vaccinations will be carried out
with the available licensed vaccines at the Vaccination Centres operating in
all Districts. The next openings of the Vaccination Portal will be announced
at a later stage. It is recalled that the
interval period between the 1st and 2nd dose for the
Moderna vaccine is 28 days, for the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine 21 days, for the
AstraZeneca vaccine eight weeks, while the Janssen vaccine is of a single
dose. (MPO/EK) |
