The number of newly vaccinated people
in Italy has fallen 41% in the last two weeks, health group
GIMBE said Thursday.
Just over 486,000 first jabs were administered from September 15
to 21, said the foundation.
This was despite vaccine stocks rising to more than 10 million
doses, it said.
Vaccine hesitancy persists in the over 50s, it said, where some
13.5% have not yet completed the vaccination cycle.
Vaccinations have also slowed among the 12-19 year olds with
almost 1.5 million youngsters still to receive their first jab,
GIMBE said.
But COVID-19 cases are continuing to drop, showing a 14.9% fall
in a week.
This has been accompanied by a drop in hospital admissions and
intensive care cases.
The number of deaths is stable, GIMBE said.
