MILAN, Feb 5 (Reuters) - If vaccine supplies will be
confirmed, seven million Italians could be fully vaccinated
against COVID-19 by the end of the March, the government's
special commissioner Domenico Arcuri said on Friday.
Arcuri said the first 249,600 doses of the AstraZeneca
vaccine will arrive in Italy on Saturday and will be
administered from next week, to people up to the age of 55.
Pfizer and Moderna doses will be
administered in parallel, to those over 80 and most exposed to
risks, such as health workers.
