The Vatican City State will begin in the coming days the vaccination campaign against COVID 19 among its employees and residents.
According to a press release sent by the Vatican City State Government, “priority will be given to public health and safety personnel, the elderly and staff most frequently in contact with the public.”
That is, vaccination will begin following “the selection criteria of the categories most exposed to the contagion.”
Vaccines are expected to reach the Vatican “in the second week of January, in an amount sufficient to cover the needs of the Holy See and the Vatican City State.”
To conserve the doses, the Vatican administration “has purchased an ‘ultra low temperature’ refrigerator.”
Vaccinations will be performed in the atrium of the Paul VI Classroom by qualified medical personnel of the Vatican City State Directorate of Health and Hygiene, “always in line with the health recommendations for the pandemic “.
