The Italian Ministry of Health stated that preliminary data on the effectiveness of vaccines against the mutated Omicron from the Corona virus indicate that it may be able to reduce the effectiveness of vaccines, especially after more than 120 days have passed since the first immunization cycle (two doses).
And the Italian Aki news agency quoted the Director-General of Prevention at the Ministry of Health, Jani Rizza, as saying that "the third booster dose restores the effectiveness of the vaccines to levels similar to those against the delta mutant, which provides good protection against severe epidemic infections."
Italy recorded a significant jump in the number of new infections, exceeding the threshold of 100,000 cases for the first time, as a daily outcome.
According to the latest outcome yesterday, 126,888 new infections and 156 deaths from the virus were recorded, bringing the total number of infections to more than 5 million and 981 thousand cases, and the total deaths of 137,247 cases.
