"The plan does not change, at the end of the month we must reach 500 thousand daily doses. From today, the inoculation of the AstraZeneca vaccine is open to the audience of 60-79 years old, while those under 60 who have already received the first dose, will also receive the second ".
Thus General Francesco Paolo Figliuolo, commissioner for the Covid emergency, spoke to Piediripa di Macerata talking about the latest developments on the administration of the Anglo-Swedish vaccine.
"The EMA - underlined the general - has said that AstraZeneca is a safe vaccine and I hope that the affair will end in this way".
"Between this quarter and the next, 30 million AstraZeneca doses will arrive, which can therefore also be destined to the audience of over 60 up to 79 years of age, which is about 13 million and 275 thousand users", recalled Figliuolo, adding that " of these 2 million and 270 thousand have already received the first dose ".
A decision, the Commissioner said again, which was also the fruit of what "our neighbors have done and I am talking about Germany, France, Belgium and Spain".
"If we get vaccinated we get out of it. As soon as we complete the over 80s and the frail we will open vaccination to the productive classes", Figliuolo said.
"Our territories have suffered, this is a territory of made in Italy and we must bring made in Italy back to the world, we must reopen", he added.
