Quá đáng

Greece is giving older residents (cư dân) an ultimatum (tối hậu thư): get the COVID vaccine — or pay up (trả tiền).

Faced with a surge in infections and stalled vaccination drives, the country announced that everyone 60 and older must be vaccinated by mid-January or face a monthly fine of roughly $114.

It's the first country in the E.U. to target an age group with a vaccine mandate. More than 500,000 older Greeks have yet to get vaccinated, according to government data — and if they don't, they're more likely to get seriously ill and die.

"It's not a punishment," Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said. "I would say it is the price for health (giá cho sức khỏe). It is also an act of justice (công bằng) for the vaccinated."
