Cyprus' Covid-19 vaccination rollout has covered 80 per cent of the adult population with one dose, health minister Michael Hadjipantelas said.
Achieving the four-in-five milestone brings health authorities closer to their ultimate goal of reaching herd immunity against the coronavirus.
Hadjipantelas said that achieving such high vaccination coverage “ranks Cyprus among the member states of the European Union that have reached and surpassed the goal set at European level”.
Mass vaccination would leave the country better prepared and protected against the virus before winter arrives, he added.
