Italy has seen "better than
expected" results from a compulsory school vaccination plan,
Health Minister Beatrice Lorenzin said Tuesday.
Even though dozens of kids have been sent home and an
estimated 30,000 kids were non-compliant, the plan has achieved
a 95% coverage, officials have said.
Lorenzin said the overall data from the Higher Health
Institute (ISS) had been "good", but the ministry was still
awaiting figures from Italy's regional governments.
"We do not have region by region data: I hope to have them
soon," she said.
