The same source said that the prime minister "will wait for the time when he will be called to receive the second dose of the vaccine against covid-19".
Also, Marta Temido, The Minister of Health, has already received the first dose of the vaccine.
Last Friday, also at the Hospital das Forças Armadas, in Lisbon, the President of the Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, and the President of the Assembly of the Republic, Ferro Rodrigues, were vaccinated against the covid-19.
Vaccination against covid-19 in Portugal started on 27 Decembe, first covering health professionals involved in the response to this disease, and then extending to professionals and residents in nursing homes and long-term care units.
The first phase of the vaccination plan also includes professionals from the Armed Forces, security forces and services considered critical.
O covid-19 tem afetado muitas pessoas e economias. A China está a fazer pressão para têr ajuda de Portugal quando Portugal assumir Presidência na União Europeia. Portugal colabore com a Europa e não com a China. A China a insistir tanto com Portugal indica que são indiferentes ao sufrimento de Portugal e do mundo.

I hope he will be punished for skipping the line! He does not belong into any of the groups! That is really frustrating!

Um.
What vaccine did he allegedly have?
From what multinational drugs company?
Against what version of the virus?
Nice to know that the WHO was blocked to look at the actual sources.
But my local bar is closed so I’m sure that will save us all.!!

Not long time aga there was an article where Costa promised punishment for people breaking the priority ruled for vaccination. And now he does it himself. So bad.
The principle is "Lead by example". A leader that gives himself benefits is not a leader. He is a minister. But not worth to bee a leader of this country. Put him i jail for a month. A fee will not have any affect. Money is no problem for these persons.
I am 63 years, bad lungs, bad heart, Large medical history. I will no
t get any vaccin until after summer. If I survive.

“Last week, we exceeded half a million vaccines already administered, the goal we have is that, by the beginning of April, we will be able to achieve the goal of vaccinating 1.4 million Portuguese among those who are in the priority risk groups and those who provide services in essential services”, affirmed António Costa.

Is he in a risk group ? For what condition ?
Is his services essential ? No, he can be replaced tomorrow without any problem
Rotten corruption

Personally I do not want a vaccine jab, but Thank You Mr President for putting your money where your mouth is.

Is taking this experimental shot a way to sign up to the army of the approved?
When those not vaccinated are being called out to be accused, is taking the shot an out to say "not me, I do not walk with them, they are not my brothers and sisters"?
Is that the army of God? Of Jesus Christ, the path, the truth and life?
