During a working meeting, Health Minister Carla Vizzotti said that her country would speed up the vaccination process, and for the second dose, priority will be given to people who have been waiting the longest since receiving the first dose, those over 50 years old and those with underlying health conditions.

So far, 25.64 million people have been vaccinated with at least one dose and 7.68 million with two doses, according to the ministry. (ANI/Xinhua )
