The center, he added, “will also be open at night, without the need for a reservation. We will do it on an experimental basis in Sesto San Giovanni, then if there is availability of staff and demand, we will continue to increase this activity”.

“Finally we can give the third dose to the category of young people who were excluded for the moment, those aged 12 to 15. In fact we are already vaccinating them today with the third dose, even if we should have started tomorrow”, added Bertolaso. on the sidelines of the visit to the hub dedicated to pediatric vaccinations at the Milan Fair.

In Lombardy, Bertolaso ​​recalled, “a few days ago we broke the record of over 20 million vaccinations, with more than 4.5 million third doses already administered. We will administer another two million by the end of January.

So I believe that we are going well beyond the objectives set by General Figliuolo. We have no cause for concern, we need to increase the slots, especially for children aged 5 to 11 “. (ANSA).
