ROME, Feb 25 (Reuters) - Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi
said on Thursday he wanted coordinated action by the European
Union to accelerate the anti-COVID vaccination campaign.
In a statement released during a summit of EU leaders, the
new Italian premier said vaccine firms that failed to deliver
promised supplies "should not be excused".
Draghi also said that first jabs should possibly be given
priority in future, rather than holding back doses for
recommended follow-up vaccinations, as is currently the case.
