The circular, signed by the Director of Prevention of the ministry Gianni Rezza, indicates that the vaccine Vaxzevria of AstraZeneca “It is only given to people 60 years of age or older (full cycle)”. For people who have received the first dose of this vaccine and are under 60 years of age, it reads, “the cycle must be completed with a second dose of mRNA vaccine (Comirnaty or Moderna), to be administered at a distance 8-12 weeks from the first dose “. There are about 900 thousand Italians under the age of 60 who have had the first dose of vaccine with Astrazeneca and now they will have to carry out the booster with Pfizer or Moderna.
