"There are probably about 100,000 people who have doubts" about heterologous vaccination. Thus the Commissioner for the Covid Emergency, Francesco Figliuolo - on the sidelines of his visit to the Spallanzani in Rome -, according to whom he would treat about 10% of the 950 thousand who have taken the first dose of Astrazeneca and are waiting for the second.
"With the doses arriving between now and September we will have over 54 million usable mRna doses and we will definitely close the campaign. If there were to be an advance decided at European level, it will give us further possibilities to speed up. Curevac was an option but it has remained so. , the campaign is already calibrated on what we already have ". Thus the Commissioner for the Covid Emergency, Francesco Figliuolo - on the sidelines of his visit to the Spallanzani in Rome.
Provide to book the over 60s and "notify the commissioner by July 15 of the number of people unable to join the campaign for health reasons and the number of people who have expressed a desire not to join the campaign, broken down by age group ". This is what the Emergency Commissioner writes in a passage of his letter sent today to the Regions.
"The trend of the vaccination campaign on the over 60 age groups shows a decline in the last two weeks, coinciding with the extension of vaccination to age groups more easily accessible or facilitated by the vaccination model of the hubs. It is not known whether the failure involvement is to be ascribed to clinical limitations, individual choice or difficulty in registering on vaccination platforms ". Figliuolo asks to "implement in a more incisive way the method of active achievement" of the over 60 population.
