Sputnik V vaccinated in Italy to receive COVID certificate after booster dose

Sperantza: those vaccinated with Sputnik V after boostering with an mRNA vaccine will receive an EU COVID certificate

Vaccinated with coronavirus vaccines not recognized by the European agency for medicines, including the Russian “Sputnik V”, will be able to receive a COVID-certificate from the European Union (EU) after a booster dose of an mRNA vaccine. This was announced by the head of the Italian Ministry of Health, Roberto Speranza, reports ANSA.

As Speranza explained, the booster will need to be received no later than six months after the completion of vaccination. According to a circular from the Italian Ministry of Health, published earlier, we are talking about the drugs of the companies Pfizer and Moderna.

Earlier, Roberto Speranza called for mutual recognition of vaccines against coronavirus. He added that this is not a political issue and should be guided only by the opinion of the scientific community.

Prior to this, the Italian government promised to consider the possibility of including people vaccinated with the Russian Sputnik V vaccine in the Green Pass system ( COVID-certificates of the European Union).
