In May, the Open Polyclinics of MdM in Athens and Thessaloniki started to operate, in addition to their services, as Covid-19 Vaccination Centres for vulnerable social groups of the population, supporting the vaccination campaign of the Ministry of Health.
The aim of the action is to increase the access of vulnerable social groups to the vaccination process to protect their health and to reduce the spread of the pandemic. Several vulnerable citizens such as those living in precarious housing conditions, asylum seekers and recognized refugees, seasonal workers from countries such as Albania, Bulgaria, people without legal documents and the recently displaced population from Ukraine, have been able to have their vaccination in a direct and easy way at the Open Polyclinics.
Z. is one of the first vaccinated persons against Covid19 through the PAMKA benefit. He was vaccinated at the Doctors of the World Vaccination Centre in Athens as part of the Vaccines for All programme implemented with the support of Intersos Greece. Subsequently, with the help of a social worker, Z. received his Covid19 vaccination certificate from the Municipality of Athens’ Citizens’ Service Center.
