Italy's COVID vaccination programme
will be completed by the start of next autumn, Higher Health
Council (CSS) chief Franco Locatelli said Thursday.
The European Medicines Agency, he said, will give a preliminary
assessment of documentation for the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines
on December 29 and January 12, and this should make available
3.4 million doses to vaccinate 1.7 million people.
Vaccination is expected to start in the second half of January,
Locatelli said.
"By the end of the summer or the start of the autumn, we should
have completed the administration of of the biggest mass
vaccination campaign that has ever taken place in this country,"
Locatelli said.
