Vaccine, the first doses at Christmas. Anti-Covid vaccine, 3 million doses to Italy within this year
There are already 10 million doses of the anti-Covid vaccine in Europe. They will reach 20 million within the end of the year, of which 3 million will go to Italy. We are referring to the vaccine developed by the Jenner Institute of the Oxford University, with the collaboration of the Italian company IRBM, based in Pomezia (Rome), and produced with the multinational AstraZeneca. This is the vaccine candidate in which Europe has invested the most. We must wait for the approval of the EMA, which has already started the “rolling review” process. The Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Luigi Di Maio: «The first doses of the vaccine will arrive by the end of the year. Vaccinations will begin in early 2021»
