　　The director of the Italian National Emergency Committee for New Coronavirus, Akuri said that so far, more than 1.15 million people in Italy have been vaccinated with Pfizer, ranking first in the EU and ninth in the world.

But Pfizer notified Italy that they will reduce the number of new crown vaccines sent to Italy by 29% starting on the 18th.

Next, the Italian Ministry of Health may evaluate Pfizer's actions.

　　According to government sources, Italy suspects that Pfizer’s reduced deliveries are not due to factory upgrades, but rather that the company resells part of the vaccines that should be sent to the EU to non-EU countries or private individuals with higher prices.

　　Regarding the rumor, Akuri said he could not answer this question.

However, Pfizer denied this rumor.

And under pressure from the European Union, the company finally issued a statement again saying that it will resume the normal supply of vaccines as originally planned from the 25th.

　　Damato, director of the Public Health Committee of the Lazio Regional Council, said that from January 25, the Lazio Region will launch an online vaccination appointment platform and make vaccination appointments for people over 80 years old.

People can also schedule vaccination through family doctors.

　　D'Amato suggested that elderly people who need to be vaccinated should contact their family doctors to make an appointment as soon as possible, or make an appointment on the online platform.

As Pfizer vaccine will reduce its original dose next week, vaccination in the Lazio region will also be affected to some extent, but it will return to normal speed from February 1.

　　Zingaretti, chairman of the Lazio Region, called on the public to actively participate in vaccinations through social media platforms.
