The over 60s will soon be involved in the fourth dose campaign. Blame the new contagious Covid wave. Aifa and the Ministry of Health are already at work and after the passage by the drug agency there will be a circular that will be sent to the Regions which they can organize themselves for the reopening of the vaccination hubs. Campania, Calabria, Basilicata, Piedmont, Friuli and Lazio are already ready to handle this eventuality.
The health system, in addition to the vaccination hubs, will rely on general practitioners and pharmacies: the numbers to start from are those of around 1500-2000 vaccines per day, therefore very far from the four-figure ones to which the structures set up during the emergency were used. In the autumn, however, the requests for vaccinations, according to the estimates of the regions, should increase further with the arrival of the updated vaccines.
I new infections from Covid – writes Ansa – there are 98.044, registered in the last 24 hours. The data from the Ministry of Health show a decrease compared to the previous 24 hours, in which 100.690 were infected. On the other hand, there were 93 victims, still down on the 105 of the day before. A total of 389.576 antigenic and molecular tests were performed swabs with the positivity rate standing at 25,1%, down from 27% the day before. There are 344 patients hospitalized in intensive care, 17 fewer. There are 41 admissions per day. There are 8.864 inpatients in ordinary wards, an increase of 232.
