from January to the rest of the population
, staggered according to when the first and second dose was administered".
The Undersecretary of Health
Pierpaolo Sileri said this
on Radio Capital.

As for the vaccine to protect the 5-11 year old from Covid "its arrival will depend on the regulatory bodies, and as soon as it is approved it will be available in Italy, I would certainly do it to my son. I have a 2 year old son and if there were I would do a vaccine available for his age immediately. Unfortunately, there is not yet, "he concludes.
