Health Minister Roberto Speranza has
pledged that everyone in Italy who wants to be vaccinated for
COVID-19 will be able to do so by the end of the summer.
Speranza also said that the Italian authorities are poised to
give the all clear for the AstraZeneca vaccine to be given to
over-65s.
The AstraZeneca jab was initially only approved for adults aged
55 or under in Italy but that age limit was recently raised to
65.
The minister added that he was open to the option of using the
Russian Sputnik vaccine.
