The administration of booster doses is also growing: a total of 144 thousand third doses administered in Sardinia, with an average of 10 thousand daily inoculations compared to 4,500 the previous week. Currently, the peak of third-dose administrations was recorded on November 26, with 11 thousand doses.

The third doses are increasing and we are working to strengthen the entire hub system. Furthermore, we are already planning the actions to be taken pending the green light to vaccinate the little ones, in the 5 to 11 year-old age bracket. The response of our children is very important.

"In this new phase of the campaign - continues Solinas - the Sardinians are responding well. This is the right path. The virus is not yet defeated and the new variants still represent a threat. Sardinia has already suffered too much from the weight of the pandemic and this it is a battle that concerns each of us ".
