Omicron variant infections in the fall/Italy launches booster vaccination

Italy's health ministry launched a vaccination campaign against COVID-19 for the autumn and winter seasons, introducing a new vaccine that has been updated to protect against an emergency variant.

The campaign includes a booster vaccine against COVID-19 for the most vulnerable groups, which people can receive along with the annual flu vaccine.

According to the Ministry of Health, the recommendations are based on the latest scientific guidelines from groups such as the World Health Organization and the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control. 

In recent months, the circulation of COVID-19 in Italy has remained moderate, with seasonal fluctuations and the emergence of new variants.

Health officials are continuing to monitor the JN.1 and KP.2 subvariants, which circulated last fall and winter, while the LP.8.1 Omicron variant is responsible for a surge in cases in some parts of Italy and is considered a variant under monitoring./CNA
