During spring 2022, Italian authorities started administering a second booster shot of COVID-19 vaccines to the population in order to improve the general protection against the virus. As of November 20, 2023, approximately 6.7 million Italian citizens have received a booster shot, corresponding to roughly 11.4 percent of the population over five years old. This statistic breaks down these figures by age of the vaccinated. In the age group 80+, the one most vulnerable to the virus, over 45.6 percent of the individuals received a fourth shot.
About 85 percent of the total population in Italy has completed the regular vaccination cycle, having received two shots. Moreover, three out of four Italians over 12 years of age have received a third shot. Thanks to this, despite the high number of daily cases, figures for deaths and hospitalizations remain low.
