Paphos People

The first batch of Covid vaccines are expected to reach Cyprus on Saturday and the inoculations are set to begin on Sunday.

Health Minister Constantinos Ioannou and EU Commissioner Stella Kyriakides will be present at the arrival of the shots and are expected to make brief statements to the press.

The first vaccinations on Sunday will take place at a care home and at the reference hospital in Famagusta.

Health Minister said that this was the beginning of the end of a very long road.

Head of the Epidemiological Unit Constantinos Tsioutis said that in order to be able to say that people are safe, “we need to inoculate a large percentage of the population” and this will happen by summer, according to the vaccination programme.

He also underlined that until then, all measures need to be in place and followed by the public, but they are not expected to be as strict.

Whilst the optimist and the pessimist argued that the whisky glass was either half full
or half empty ? .
I drank it .....
The opportunist..

Some of my family have already been vaccinated in the uk because of their jobs working with the vulnerable etc

Apart from feeling a bit nauseous for the first 15 mins .....and a sore arm...they have all been fine

As they say...in 7 days time after the first inoculation they will be almost fully covered against the virus ...they then will go back of course to get the second dose in 21 days time after the first dose

Is there at last a light at the end of the tunnel?

Don,t forget ...if you carry an epi pen, or have any allergies especially to medicines....you cannot have the Pfizer Vaccine ...you will have to wait for the Astra Zeneca one...which will be medically accepted in the next few days
