The doses will arrive at the Spallanzani hospital in Rome and from there the symbolic distribution will start throughout Italy so that on the same day vaccines can be administered in all regions.
The doses, explained Arcuri, will be divided for all regions on the basis of a percentage identified on the basis of the total quantity expected for each region in the first distribution.

The regions that will receive less doses are Valle d'Aosta (20), Molise (50) and Umbria (85).
"At the
moment there is no provision for children to be included in the vaccination campaign
. And this for several reasons: I am not aware of any experiments on children. They are also less susceptible to Sars-Cov-2 and more rarely have severe symptoms and disease. they have not been identified as a population supporting the transmission of the infection in the community. "
This was underlined by Gianni Rezza, director of prevention of the Ministry of Health, who spoke at the Risk Management in Health Forum in Arezzo.
