ROME, Dec. 22 (Xinhua) -- A female nurse will be the first person to receive the BioNTech-Pfizer vaccine to prevent the coronavirus disease in Italy, health authorities said on Tuesday.
As previously anticipated by the country's health minister, the first vaccine shots will be administered on Dec. 27, simultaneously with other European Union (EU) member states.
The date has recently been set as "V-Day" among EU member states to start the COVID-19 vaccination of the first groups of people, namely the most exposed to the virus (such as health workers), and the most vulnerable (such as elders).
