Vaccines, 4.5 million doses in the last week: never so many

"In the last week we have broken through the ceiling of 4.5 million weekly administrations between first, second and third doses: it is a number that we had never reached before". Thus Nino Cartabellotta, president of the Gimbe Foundation, on Radio Cusano Campus, adding that "the vaccination chapter has only good news, it is accelerating on all fronts".

The number of new vaccinated people, he specified, "is 542 thousand, of which about half belong to the 5-11 age group, the nice surprise is that the new vaccinated over 12 years are almost 275 thousand and 137 thousand are over 50, this means that the definition of the vaccination obligation has determined some results.

A further confirmation, therefore, that the vaccination campaign is proceeding fairly tightly. "The third doses, apart from holidays, remain over 580 thousand per week", states Cartabellotta.
