Significance
Some 60% of the total population has now been vaccinated, and the majority (90%) of hospitalised patients are unvaccinated. The government is struggling to increase the pace of vaccinations; the unvaccinated population exhibits a strong set of political and cultural beliefs.
Impacts
Restrictions on unvaccinated people affecting their personal freedoms could lead to lawsuits.
Small-scale local protests are likely when the government announces new measures.
Vaccination progress is vital for migrant and Roma communities where social distancing rules are not effective.
New pandemic outbreaks on small islands will put pressure on local healthcare systems.
