Trust the system , health chief tells Portuguese angry at slow vaccine roll out

By Reuters Staff 3 Min Read LISBON, Feb 4 (Reuters) - Portugal’s health chief sought to reassure people in the coronavirus-stricken country that they will get vaccinated, as anger spreads over delays and queue jumping. For much of the past few weeks, Portugal has suffered the highest per capita rates of deaths and new infections in the world. Meanwhile, like other EU countries, it has been far slower than Britain or the United States to roll out vaccines. “Everyone will be vaccinated - we cannot all get (a shot) on the same day. There are priorities,” health chief Graça Freitas told reporters. “People must trust the system. The system will invite everyone to be vaccinated.”
