bravissimo! the youngest to be armed in the endless battle against covid. five—year—old edoardo gets his first jab, as italy steps up vaccinations for children. maybe too small to grasp how the pandemic has changed their world, but, say parents, they, too, must fight it. why did you want to vaccinate your son? because i love him. his father and i really love him and want him and all his little friends to go back to a normal life. so, this is the least we can do. respect science and respect our children. "it was ok," says edoardo. "did it hurt?" i asked. "just a little bit." they do their best here to soften the experience
