\nSecretary General of Primary Health Care, Mr. Marios Themistokleous
\nChairman of the National Vaccination Committee, Ms. Maria Theodoridou<\/p>\n
Health is a fundamental right<\/strong> Throughout the last year and a half, the Covid19 pandemic has affected widely the The health crisis has affected us all indiscriminately, however, it has mainly affected the Everyone should gain access to the vaccination process. At this given moment, the We demand immediate and all-inclusive access to the vaccination process for all social Yours sincerely, Below you can find the open letter in english and in greek:<\/p>\n
\nImmediate access to the vaccination process for undocumented people<\/strong><\/p>\n
\neveryday life of people all over the world, resulting in the mandatory adaptation of all of
\nus to this new reality. Currently, the vaccination process of the general population is the
\nmost important tool we possess in order to deal with the pandemic and constitutes the
\nmain way out of the health crisis. All of us must have access to this essential tool
\nregardless of identity, race, ethnicity. Regardless of origin and legal status.<\/p>\n
\nmost vulnerable groups, asylum seekers, refugees, migrants and most importantly,
\npeople without legal documents. The latter is the most vulnerable group of people, as
\nthey do not have the ability to register online for the process of vaccination and so far
\nthere is no provision for their vaccination. This situation constitutes an urgent need of
\nfinding a solution for this vulnerable group since the issue of public health concerns us
\nall in the context of the protection and the preservation of human life.<\/p>\n
\naforementioned social groups are facing serious problems regarding the vaccination
\nprocess and at the same time, shortcomings concerning the information given to them
\nabout the necessity as well as the possibility for them to get vaccinated are identified.
\nThis is the reason why we propose the conduct and execution of a targeted information
\ncampaign aiming at the refugee and migrant population, in which we should state our
\nsupport and availability. The way out of the pandemic can only become possible by our
\ncommon will and the inclusion of all of us.<\/p>\n
\ngroups without exception, especially for the most vulnerable ones. Health is a
\nfundamental right for everyone, which entails that an organized and coordinated State is
\nobliged to perpetually defend and secure it.<\/p>\n
