ATHENS (Reuters) -Greece said on Tuesday it would make COVID-19 vaccinations mandatory for people aged 60 and over in a move to quell a resurgent virus that is burdening a frail healthcare system.

Authorities said those who failed to comply from Jan. 16 would face a recurring monthly fine of 100 euros.
