Aifa, theItalian Drug Agency, communicated an important novelty in the context of the anti-Covid 19 vaccination plan, namely the green light to administration of the third dose of the vaccine.
To anticipate the news, last Tuesday at the end of the G20 in the capital, the health minister Roberto Hope, who in fact had mentioned the possibility of a third dose as early as September 2021, giving precedence, however, to certain categories.
Third dose of the vaccine: that's when it will be given
The categories that will be able to receive the third dose of the drug first are the subjects with problems with the immune system, over 80, the guests of RSa and healthcare personnel.
Also the Ema, the European agency, it would seem agreed on this decision, even though he explained that he had to conclude one specific study which concerns precisely the third dose, a study that still takes a few weeks.
In any case, the third administration will be made no earlier than i six months after the second dose and the vaccines that will be used will be those ad mrna, namely Pfizer and Moderna.
