Vatican City will begin to offer coronavirus vaccinations in January, according to the Vatican director of health and hygiene.
"We believe it is very important that even in our small community a vaccination campaign against the virus responsible for COVID-19 is started as soon as possible," Dr. Andrea Arcangeli, head of the Vatican health service, told Vatican News.
"In fact, only through widespread and widespread immunization of the population can real benefits in terms of public health be obtained to gain control of the pandemic."
The Pfizer vaccine is expected to be made available to Vatican City residents, employees and their family members over the age of 18 in the first months of 2021.
