Nikos Anastasiadis was vaccinated with the third dose

The third installment vaccine against coronavirus received on Friday morning (8/10) the President of the Republic of Cyprus, Nikos Anastasiadis, sending the message that the vaccination is a matter of social responsibility.

Speaking to reporters, coming to Vaccination Center B, at the Nicosia State Fair, Mr. Anastasiadis said he was ready for the third dose of the vaccine, adding that it did not matter what he intended to do, “but that in general population should respond to the calls of the Ministry, scientists for vaccination. Those who are unvaccinated, I think the experience of management shows it, are also the most vulnerable. Therefore, those who have not been vaccinated should do so and those who are called for a third dose should not hesitate to protect themselves.

We owe it to our relatives, we owe it to society in general. It is a matter of social responsibility and the results so far show that Cyprus has a very high degree of vaccination coverage, hence the epidemiological indicators that justify the situation “.

Asked if the third dose of the vaccine will be decided for the general population in addition to those over the age of 70, the President said: “We will listen to the advice of scientists, the Minister of Health will accordingly recommend to the Council of Ministers. It is a possibility. “What we are interested in is to have an autumn without problems.”

Asked why he convened a meeting with the State Health Services Organization (OKYPY) on Monday, Mr. Anastasiadis replied: “about the phenomena that are being recorded and observed. I want to know the planning of OKYPY, I want to know the plans, I want to know the behaviors. And I will not only stay at OKYPY, but I will expand the meetings with the Pancyprian Patients’ Association so that we have a global picture. Of course, I am constantly informed by the Minister of Health, but where and where decisions must be made and cuts will be made “.

Regarding whether he is dissatisfied with the way OKYPY acted for the delay, the President said, according to the APE-MPE, that he does not want to make comments, noting “what I know is that with the information, and decisions. “
