The Greek government has announced plans to grant €150 to every young Greek who has been vaccinated against COVID-19 or will get the jab soon, calling it "a gift of gratitude" ahead of the summer.
The "Freedom Pass" will have a prepaid credit of €150 and will be given to those born between 1996 and 2003 who have received at least one vaccine dose so far or will book to receive it this year.
An estimated 940,000 youngsters will be eligible to receive the Freedom Pass, and they will be allowed to spend it on travel, tourism and cultural services within the country.
"We owe the youth a gift of gratitude, to thank them for their patience and perseverance, especially in the run-up to next summer," Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Monday (28 June).
The freedom card will cover tickets for boat and train travel, vehicle rental, hotel and camping expenses, as well as admission to cultural venues, cinemas, theaters, museums, archeological sites, dance schools.
For his part, the Minister of State and Digital Governance Kyriakos Pierrakakis said this decision will also support the culture and tourism industries within Greece that have been hit by the pandemic.
"By offering unprecedented incentives for young people to go out and explore its cultural scene and landmarks, Greece is not only protecting public health, but investing to kick start our precious tourism industry," he said.
Greece has so far administered eight million doses while almost 33% of the population has been fully vaccinated.
Mitsotakis explained that the new Delta variant of the coronavirus is transmitted more quickly to the unvaccinated and emphasised the need to reach at least 70% of the population vaccinated.

Variants, variants, variants...we're doomed...
Let's get grounded to a little reality here, no?
Here is the big picture systems approach...
Here's to the new Lambda variant:
