Covid, Italy ninth in the world and first in the EU for vaccinated

Except it's a meager 1M vaccinated and nowhere close the efforts of the UK, for example.

As someone with the "feet on the ground", I can say that there has been no information on the vaccines to the general population (at least, not a large information campaign). Not even among healthcare professionals, of which a part refuses to be vaccinated.

That is exacerbated by statements "threatening" mandatory vaccination, which don't help the cause at all.

Of course, also the EMA is to blame, because it is far slower than MHRA or FDA when looking at market authorizations for vaccines. "Perhaps" we'll see a decision by the end of the month on AstraZeneca.
