Our publication said earlier that, according to the former Deputy Minister of Health of Greece, Mina Gaga, in the fall we will need new dose of vaccine against coronavirus. She noted:

“We are waiting for instructions from both the National Commission and the World Health Organization. I personally believe that in the fall it will be necessary to do some dose, as it should be done against influenza, which changes sub-options every year, and every autumn we make a vaccine to remember it.”
