Greek Island Is 1st in Europe to Be COVID-Free; All 520 Residents Have Had 2 Doses of Vaccine

 The little-known Greek island of Kastellorizo is being hailed a success for its vaccine rollout, becoming the first in Europe to be totally COVID-free, the Euro News website reports today (March 6, 2021).


Tucked away in a remote part of the Aegean Sea, a few miles from the Turkish coast, ir inoculated all of its 520 residents against COVID-19 with first and second doses of Pfizer vaccine.


Since March 2020 only one COVID-19 case has been detected on Kastellorizo. The Greek government is trying to protect small islands that do not have large hospitals by vaccinating their whole populations.
