Italy is to start giving a third dose of the vaccine from 20 September, beginning with the most vulnerable.
The third round of Italy’s vaccination campaign will focus initially on those with the most fragile immune systems – around three million people according to news agency ANSA.
More than 40 million people in Italy have been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus, equal to 74 per cent of the population over 12, as the government nears its target of vaccinating 80 per cent by the end of September.
