It is important to highlight that, for most vaccines to be fully effective, it is necessary to administer two doses to every individual, at a distance of several weeks between the two, plus an additional 'booster' shot. So far, around 50 million people in Italy have received two doses, corresponding to roughly 85 percent of the total population. Additionally, three out of four Italians over 12 years of age have also received the booster shot. In March 2022, the Italian government started rolling out a second booster shot for the most vulnerable individuals.
