Anticovid vaccinations for everyone have begun in Salina, in the Aeolian Islands, starting from the age of 18, to make the Sicilian islands covid free as soon as possible.
Between Monday and Saturday the vaccinations will be carried out to the other Aeolians starting from Alicudi, then Filicudi, then Panarea, Stromboli and Ginostra, Vulcano to finish in Lipari.
In Lampedusa from tomorrow the vaccination campaign continues without interruption, with the administration of doses to all the remaining population over 18. The teams already present on the island since last Tuesday have been integrated by other staff. From Monday, vaccinations in the Egadi and Pantelleria will begin, supervised by the ASP of Trapani. The inhabitants of the islands will be able to receive the vaccine from 9 to 18, every day, including Sundays, respectively in the Pantelleria offices, in the Mediateca in via San Leonardo, and in Favignana, at the Tonnara Florio. Mass vaccinations will also begin next week in Ustica, an island in Palermo.
13 o'clock the scheduled start time for the vaccinations of the inhabitants of Capraia (Livorno), first together with Salina among the smaller islands involved in the Covid free operation. In the end, 170 residents will be vaccinated by the 4 Navy doctors who arrived on the island this morning together with a colleague from the ASL and the doctor from Capraia, the farthest from the coast among the seven islands of the Tuscan Archipelago. The location of the vaccinations is the local ASL clinic, near the church of San Nicola, in three specially equipped rooms, with six-minute intervals between one and the other.
"The goal is to finish the vaccinations within the day - said the mayor Marida Bessi - even if we risked blowing everything up since today the ferry could not leave Livorno. It is one of the problems of the so-called territorial continuity. and for those like us who do not live on an island it is not easy to make people understand. Fortunately, the ship has arrived and will remain until 16. Returning to vaccinations, every resident has been given an appointment. I will vaccinate with the Johnson with a scheduled appointment for tomorrow morning: it will mean that I will be vaccinated last as to give the priority signal to my islanders ".
