Italy's COVID-19 Emergency
Commissioner Francesco Figliuolo said Friday that Italy has set
a new record of over 380,000 vaccinations in a single day.
"Yesterday 325,000 vaccinations were forecast but we probably
did more than 380,000 because some regions asked to recuperate
vaccinations they were unable to do in the past and also in
order to calibrate the machine," Figliuolo said during a visit
to Bari.
Italy's previous record was the 372,000 jabs done on April 16.
The government's target to be able to do 500,000 vaccinations a
day.
So far Italy has done over 16,6 million COVID vaccine jabs and
almost five million people are fully vaccinated for the
coronavirus.
