Giorgia Meloni, the leader of the
right-wing Brothers of Italy (FdI) party, had her first dose of
a COVID-19 vaccine at Rome's Spallanzani hospital on Monday,
party sources said.
The sources said Meloni had booked a jab appointment for June
but had to postpone it due to work commitments.
Meloni, whose group is the only major Italian party not to
support Premier Mario Draghi's broad coalition government, has
been highly critical of the obligation to have the Green Pass
vaccine passport to access restaurants, pools, gyms and open-air
events in Italy as well as to travel abroad.
Last week League leader Matteo Salvini, who recently spoke up
against vaccinations for children, had a COVID jab too.
