Premier Giuseppe Conte has said he
hopes the first doses of a COVID-19 vaccine will be ready early
in December in an interview in a new book by RAI journalist
Bruno Vespa.
"If the final phases of preparation, the so-called 'rolling
value', of the Oxford-Irbm Pomezia-Astrazeneca vaccine are
completed in the next few weeks, the first doses will be
available at the start of December," Conte said in excerpts from
the book released ahead of its publication on October 29.
"Right from the start we will have the first two or three
million doses. Millions more will arrive straight after.
"The European Commission has commissioned several hundreds of
millions of doses from Astrazeneca and other companies.
"Nevertheless, I think that we will have to wait until next
spring to completely contain the pandemic".
