I read earlier on FB today that you go to the main entrance and when inside take the right corridor past where you purchase stamps and make appointments and it is a room near the orthopaedic clinic. One person said it was where she had her flu jab.

Yes it is going to take a long time to vaccinate all the people in Cyprus . The government initially plan for vaccination to go on until mid 2022 .

There is hope though that it won´t take that long. Next month Biontech will start production at a repurposed manufacturing plant in Marburg which is supposed to produce 250 million doses of vaccine by midyear.
The Biontech plant in Marburg is the great hope in the fight against the pandemic. While the company is offering its own employees a vaccination these days, production of the Corona vaccine is also to begin in Marburg in February. And on a grand scale: as the company confirmed to FFH, at least 250 million vaccine doses are to be produced at the site in the first half of 2021 alone.

The real problem is that there is simply a shortage in the supply of vaccines...
As I mentioned earlier the EU had failed to order enough vaccine, and it reportedly was slow to put the order in. Doh.
Whereas the UK was very quick off the mark when it came to ordering the best vaccines in large quantities.

What I find weird about that graph is that Belgium, which has had terrible figures in the cases and deaths department, doesn't appear to be doing any vaccinating.
