China News Service, February 11. According to Euronet, citing EUN News Agency, due to the impact of the new crown epidemic, the birth rate in Italy continued to decline.

According to reports, the Italian Ministry of Civil Protection reported 75,861 new confirmed cases of new crowns and 325 new deaths on the 10th.
As of 18:00 local time on the 10th, the cumulative number of confirmed cases nationwide has reached 11,847,436, and the cumulative number of deaths has reached 150,221.
On the same day, Nicola Magrini, director of the Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA), said in an interview with the media that Italian health authorities will not launch a fourth dose of the new crown vaccine booster, but may provide a follow-up supplementary vaccine every year.
Marco Cavaleri, head of the European Medicines Agency's vaccine strategy, said at a news conference that if booster shots were given every four months, it would overload people's immune systems.
While the use of additional boosters may be part of a contingency plan, repeat vaccinations within a short period of time do not represent a sustainable long-term strategy.
