The Greek government spokeswoman on Friday, in reply to a press question, reiterated that there was no issue of revising the legal framework in the country to allow the firing of an employee for refusing to be vaccinated.
Aristotelia Peloni nevertheless added that the government and Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis are awaiting a recommendation by a relevant bioethics committee on the prospect of obliging healthcare professionals in the public sector and staff-members at elderly care units to get vaccinated for the Covid-19 virus.
“The government is awaiting this recommendation in order to take its decisions, weighing the issues with the necessary social sensitivity. This is a lively discussion, and it has arisen in other countries as well; all of the views are presented,” she said.
