The vaccination will be carried out by Doctors without Borders in cooperation with the General Secretariat for Public Health, the Hellenic Center for Disease Control & Prevention and the National Hellenic Research Foundation.
The ministry aims at extending the campaign to all refugees and migrants staying in hosting centers, following the instructions of the National Immunization Committee and international organizations.

Police used tear gas to stop clashes between rival groups of rock-throwing Pakistani and Afghan migrants in the sprawling border camp at Idomeni in northern Greece on Tuesday, as incidents of violence along ethnic lines proliferate and protests at camps across the country have become a daily reality.
According to Giorgos Kyritsis, the spokesman for the government’s coordinating body for refugees, four new reception centers will soon be created in the wider region of Thessaloniki.
According to the latest official data, 54,347 migrants are still stranded in Greece.
