MILAN (Reuters) – If vaccine supplies are confirmed, seven million Italians could be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by the end of March, the government’s special commissioner Domenico Arcuri said on Friday.
Arcuri said the first 249,600 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine will arrive in Italy on Saturday and will be administered from next week, to people up to the age of 55.
Pfizer and Moderna doses will be administered in parallel, to those over 80 and most exposed to risks, such as health workers.
“Meanwhile, the number of Italians that are fully vaccinated will top 1 million today,” he said during a weekly press event.
