Nearly six months into its Covid-19 vaccination campaign, Italy has administered more than 35.8 million doses nationwide and fully immunized some 12.4 million people, according to the Health Ministry's running tally.

That means nearly 23 percent of the total population over 12 has had all the shots they need.

Here's a closer look at the latest official vaccine data from each part of Italy.

Italy began its vaccination rollout by focusing on health workers and the elderly, followed by people with medical conditions that make them especially vulnerable to Covid-19.

It has extended appointments to younger and younger adults, and starting this week has given the go-ahead for regions to open booking to everyone over the age of 12.

Some regions have already begun doing so, and several plan to start vaccinating all groups within weeks.

More than 90 percent of Italy's over-80s have had at least their first dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, according to the official figures, while over 80 percent are fully vaccinated.

Italy aims to finish vaccinating its oldest residents by the end of June. Its Covid-19 emergency commissioner has urged regional health services not to forget about those in high-risk groups who have not yet had their shots even as they begin offering vaccines to younger people, with local authorities urged to reach out to elderly residents who still haven't booked a jab.
