Number of COVID-19 vaccine doses administered in Italy as of Jan 26, 2021, by region

As of January 26, 2021, there had been almost 1.5 million COVID-19 vaccine doses administered in Italy. Breaking down this figure by region, Lombardy stood out as the one that administered the highest number of vaccine doses, around 234.5 thousand. Lazio and Piedmont followed in the list, both over 150 thousand doses administered. It is important to highlight that, for the vaccine to be fully effective, it is necessary to administer two doses to every individual, at a distance of approximately a couple weeks between the two. So far, in fact, only 190,350 people in Italy can be said to be fully protected against COVID-19.

Lombardy is also the most populated region in the country and the one registering the highest number of COVID-19 cases since the start of the pandemic.
