"It is expected that on May 28, the EMA will issue the authorization for the Pfizer vaccine for the 12-15 age group.
For the moment, only this immunizer is expected from the age of 16, the others from 18. It is a very important fact because vaccinating young people is highly strategic and essential for the safe reopening of the next school year ". Health Minister Roberto Speranza said this in response to a question in the House. "We await the decision of the EMA also to give more information on these age groups", he concluded.
"So far we have been concerned with vaccinating the groups of people most exposed to the virus: health workers, the elderly, the frail. In June, another 20 million doses of vaccines will arrive and immunization can be extended to other categories of citizens, including the most young people, "said the Minister of Health.
