Police intervened at a vaccination
hub in Naples Tuesday after many citizens refused the
AstraZeneca jab and instead demanded the Pfizer or Moderna one,
insulting and threatening doctors.
Some 4,000 Neapolitans aged between 60 and 69 were at the Mostra
d'Oltremare fair ground hub.
The local health agency said "many users refused AstraZeneca
without any valid reason. To stop the situation degenerating,
seeing the insults and verbal threats to health operators, the
director general called for an intervention by the police, which
were at the scene, in order to quell the protests".
