Abstract
The Covid-19 vaccination campaign represents a challenge for the health system. Eight Covid-19 vaccines belonging to 4 different categories of technology are currently available. More than the specific type of selected vaccine, major influencing factors for the success of the vaccination campaign are a quick coverage of the population, including the paediatric one, and the surveillance regarding the new viral variants.
Riassunto
La campagna di vaccinazione Covid-19 rappresenta una sfida per il sistema sanitario. Attualmente sono disponibili otto vaccini anti-Covid appartenenti a 4 diverse categorie di tecnologia. Più che il tipo specifico di vaccino selezionato, i principali fattori di influenza per il successo della campagna vaccinale sono una rapida copertura della popolazione, compresa quella pediatrica, e la sorveglianza sulle nuove varianti virali.
