THE Portugal inaugurated on Tuesday (30/11) the largest vaccination center for Covid-19, which will start operating normally from tomorrow, at a time when rising pollution has forced authorities to reintroduce travel restrictions.
Although 87% of the country’s population has been vaccinated – one of the highest rates in the world – cases have risen in the past month, though not to levels seen in other countries, such as Austria or the Belgium.
The new vaccination center, at a kiosk in Park of the Nations, was inaugurated by its mayor Lisbon Carlos Moentas. In this area, by the river Tago, it is possible to vaccinate 6,000 people daily and the number can be increased to 9,000 if needed.
Health services administer the booster dose to people over the age of 65 and to vulnerable groups. They hope until the end January a quarter of the population will have taken this booster dose.
To curb the increase in cases, the government re-imposed the mandatory use of masks indoors, recommended teleworking, if possible, and required all aircraft passengers, even those vaccinated, to take a negative test. PCR upon arrival.
The measures will take effect from today Wednesday.
