I was particularly struck by a ‘Daje’, a simple message and direct, which must give us the push to continue in this way in the vaccination campaign of the Lazio Region. I also want to remind and underline that the Infant Jesus vaccination center is playing an exceptional role, especially in the protection of the most fragile children “.
