There does not appear to be enough doses to vaccinate everyone.
The rate of administration will be reduced by 5% to allow those who have already received the first dose to finish the course of vaccination. After criticism from the regions, from today there is a possibility to stop bookings for the entire month of July.
Among the regions prepared to put reservations on standby, in view of the small number of doses, there appears – as the Republic has stated – also Lazio.
Young people will be most affected by such a procedure. The latest vaccination squad has been called, and young people 17 and older will have to wait until August for information about canceling reservations for the first dose of the vaccine. In the meantime, management will continue, with the goal of reaching 80% of immunized people.
The General Francesco Paolo ViglioloAn exceptional commissioner stated that the reduction would be minimal and that the target of covering 80% of citizens by September was still possible.
On the contrary, the Lazio region announces that it will be possible to reach, by the same date, only 76% of the vaccinated people in the region.
However, this number is promising, but with progress delta variable Based on Variable delta plus This is not enough: experts assure that it is now necessary to cover at least 87% of the population.

Wrong data from regions: no slowdown?
But not only in Lazio. In general, a slowdown in the administration of the first doses in July, due to lower delivery of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, is expected in most of Italy.

The plan remains the same, even with lower doses.
The Extraordinary Commissioner announces the number of doses to be delivered: for the month of July, it is expected that the amount will be about 14.5 million doses, respectively 12.1 million doses of Pfizer and 2.4 of Moderna, which will also guarantee heterogeneous vaccinations, for those under the age of 60.
