Italian President Sergio Mattarella was vaccinated against COVID-19 Tuesday at Italy’s premier infectious disease hospital, the Spallanzani in Rome. This came as vaccinations got into full swing for 79-year-olds and older people in Rome, sources said.
The president, who will be 80 in July, got a dose of the Moderna vaccine. After getting the jab he waited for 15 minutes before leaving the hospital.
