Health Minister Roberto Speranza on
Tuesday said Italy's COVID-19 vaccination campaign is continuing
to move fast, passing the 58-million shots mark, whole warning
that it is still necessary to be prudent.
"We are still in this terrible pandemic," Speranza told the W20
Women Rome Summit.
"We are fighting it with new, more effective weapons, but the
epidemic is still going and woe betide us if we lower our guard.
"In recent weeks we have experienced a significant increase in
contagion due to the Delta variant.
"But we are in a different phase (of the pandemic) because we
have the weapon of the vaccines, the most important one, and
today we passed the mark of 58 million doses given.
"We must continue at this pace".
