Athens/Sputnik: One case of an allergic reaction to the Pfizer/BioNTech coronavirus vaccine has been reported in Greece, Primary Health Care Secretary General Marios Themistokleous said at a Health Ministry briefing.
Mass vaccination of the population against COVID-19 began in Greece on Sunday. Pfizer's vaccine is used for vaccinations - the only one approved by the EU authorities.
"As of 4:00 pm today, 471 people were vaccinated in five hospitals in Athens. A case of mild allergic reaction was reported, which was successfully dealt with," Themistokleous said, adding that he intended to provide journalists with detailed information.
