  Puglia: vaccines for students from 23 August

  Despite the drop in deliveries of anti Covid vaccines, “vaccination for all students” will still be guaranteed in Puglia starting from 23 August, as per the original plan. The councilor for health of the Puglia Region, Pierluigi Lopalco, confirms this to ANSA. Puglia in July will receive about 432 thousand fewer Pfizer doses, which is why the Region has decided to postpone, to a later date, the first doses for the under 50s and give priority to recalls and vaccinations for over 50s. the booking agendas will be temporarily closed. But, at the moment, “we don’t need to change the plans for the second half of August,” explains Lopalco. “The shift in July bookings could be buffered in August,” he continues. And in any case, from 23 August the Region will guarantee vaccination for school students as planned.
