"The RT index is improving, and some Regions will move into the orange zone".

This was confirmed to Sky TG24 by the president of the Superior Health Council Franco Locatelli, who spoke at "Buongiorno".

In terms of vaccination, Locatelli stated that "there was no oversight in terms of priority" of vaccinations "because priority has already been given to the 80-year-old guests of the RSA and the frail." And referring to the attack by Draghi during the yesterday's press conference to those who "skip the line" of vaccinations explained: "President Draghi's message is the appeal to sensitivity, conscience and civic spirit". 

For Pfizer's anti-Covid vaccine, Locatelli continued, "there are data indicating that it is possible to extend the interval from 21 to 42 days without losing the effectiveness of vaccination coverage. This allows us to increase the number of people who can receive the first dose ".

"There is this type of indication - he added - then the practical implementation is up to the Ministry of Health, but the immunological and biological conditions are all there".
