“The country is still facing this difficult pandemic, we are even facing the fourth wave of this pandemic. And we cannot distract ourselves, we cannot relax, this requires us to really speed up the vaccination process. A great effort will be made in the next two weeks, with conditions that will be more uncomfortable for those who are vaccinated, but which will reinforce the safety of everyone and particularly of those who will see the second dose of vaccination more quickly reached”, said António Costa.
