Over the last year, little over a third of the Italian population (38%) reported getting vaccinated as recommended. This data demonstrates continued poor coverage and significant internal variation among Italians who choose to be vaccinated. Men are more immunized than average (42%), whereas women are only 33%. Age is a significant factor in the likelihood of vaccination: while only 28% of individuals aged 35-54 are vaccinated, nearly half (48%) of those over 55 are vaccinated. This is likely due to a greater perception of risk and a greater familiarity with the healthcare system. Analyzing the data, it is obvious that belief in science plays an important role: Italians who have high trust in healthcare institutions and scientific research have much higher vaccination rates (50% and 42%, respectively), whereas those with little trust have significantly lower rates (34% and 24%). Trust in vaccines appears to be reasonably high, but it is not unanimous. Around 7 in 10 Italians (69%) say they trust their safety, while a slightly lower share — 6 in 10 (61%) — agree on their effectiveness.
