Paulo Neves, the Madeiran Deputy to the Assembly of the Republic, has stated that he will wait his turn for a Covid – 19 vaccination and that he does not need to be a priority candidate. On his Facebook page he wrote: “As a deputy, I waive that possibility of priority and I will wait for my turn to be vaccinated.” However, he did agree that some politicians should be vaccinated early.
His declaration comes as a direct result of the Prime Minister of Portugal, António Costa’s order that all those in political office should have the vaccination first.
