As the Delta variant of Covid-19 continues to spread in Portugal and increasing numbers of young members of the population are becoming infected, vaccinations are ramping up in Portugal.
The vaccination programme against Covid-19 will accelerate in the coming weeks and should reach the threshold of 130,000 inoculations per day in July.
According to the Minister for Health: “Our goal is to ensure that in July we can reach more than 130,000 vaccines administered per day. The ‘task force’ has been working intensely to maximise all opportunities for vaccination, in terms of availability of vaccines and taking advantage of the schedules and resources allocated to this process”, said Marta Temido.
