From 3 June it will be possible to administer vaccines to the entire population up to the age of 16, without having to respect the criterion of age groups. This is what a circular from Francesco Figliuolo’s Commissioner for Emergency will announce, not yet widespread.
During a visit to Umbria, Figliuolo explained precisely that “from 3 June all the Regions and Provinces will be given the opportunity to open up to all classes following the plan, using all the points of administration, even the company ones”. The doses available, explains Figliuolo, will be 20 million.
The general also spoke about young people between 12 and 15 years old. Today the green light is expected to use the Pfizer vaccine for them by Ema, the European regulatory agency. “Aifa – explains Figliuolo – should give the authorization at the beginning of next week. We are ready, I had already included the adolescents in the vaccination plan presented in March, they are about 2.3 million young people. able to proceed also in this class “. The ministry has already signed an agreement with paediatrics and family doctors who could therefore take care of the vaccination of the youngest. With the green light from Aifa you can already start with the age group 12-15.
