June 28, 2021 "There is no simple debate on herd immunity. Instead, we have a very clear and clear objective: to offer all Italians who want it a first dose of vaccine by the end of the summer".

Thus the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, on the sidelines of the visit between Florence and Prato.



"This is our concrete objective - underlines the minister - and the conditions are in place to carry it out". And on the fear of a drop in supplies for the summer months, Speranza reassures: "Commissioner Figliuolo has offered the numbers in a very timely manner. These are numbers that allow us to continue this campaign and try to arrive, as expected in the month of September, to the result we are all waiting for: to offer a dose of vaccine to all Italians who ask for it ". "We are to vaccinate every person who requests it. Any person on national soil can potentially contract the virus and pass it on. We work to get the vaccine as deep as possible into our national network."Speranza explains, thus answering a question on the anti-Covid vaccination of homeless people and citizens temporarily present in Italy.



"The number of vaccinations is continuing in a very positive way, on Friday we reached 590,000" per day, "in the weekend we were however with very high figures". "Here in Tuscany, President Giani tells me that in the last few days we have been over 30,000, which is a very significant result. We must insist - he added - because the message is very clear: the vaccine is and remains the most essential tool to close as much as possible. soon this dramatic season ". And he adds: "Today Italy will exceed 50 million doses administered".



'Green pass downloaded by 13.7 million people'


"This morning 13 million and seven hundred thousand people have already downloaded the 'green pass' and I think this is already a very positive fact, it signals that there is a great deal of attention and this mechanism that we have also built at the European level is working. . It is clear that all the other evaluations will be made step by step "he added to those who asked him if the modalities to access the 'green pass' will change with the effects of the Delta variant.



"Today is a beautiful day because our whole country is in the white area and we can afford some more freedom but we must continue on the path of prudence and caution because the battle is not yet won, the virus still circulates significantly, we are very be careful with the variations and what is happening in other countries in Europe and in the world and therefore it is right to continue with this gradual path taking one step at a time but with great attention ", underlined the Minister of Health. "On the masks, on which from today we take a small step outdoors, they are and remain a fundamental element of our strategy - concluded Speranza -. The masks are and remain an essential element to fight Covid".
