But the second step came to the opinion that was obtainedHowever, the Region has kept appointments frozen for a short period necessary to reorganize the vaccination program based on available doses. The problem is now resolved.
However, nothing has changed when recalling people over 60 years of age who were vaccinated in the first dose of Astrazeneca: As indicated by the Ministry of Health and Aifa, the summons will be carried out for them the same vaccine.
