(ANSA) – ROME, NOV 15 – In the anti Covid-19 vaccination campaign in Italy so far 87% of first doses have been administered to the vaccinable population and the goal remains to reach 90%. The Undersecretary of Health, Andrea Costa, said this in the ’24 Mattino ‘broadcast on Radio 24. “In the last few days there has been, albeit not with important numbers, an increase in the first doses. Today we have reached 87%, an important number, we would need to further increase this percentage to reach 90%, a share that would allow us to better manage the pandemic “, observed the undersecretary. “We are confident – he added – that even the data coming from other European countries can serve as a sensitization towards those citizens who have not yet been vaccinated. It seems clear to me that the scientific evidence today says that those who have not been vaccinated are much more likely to to be infected, to end up in hospital and even in intensive care “. Costa then observed that “with the passing of days from abroad, but also from our country, data continually arrives to support how useful vaccination is and I hope they can help us understand that the vaccine is the only way out from the pandemic “.
