The regions are preparing for the reopening of the hubs
to restart with the new phase of the vaccination campaign.
Already next week, with the green light expected from the EMA and the subsequent authorization by Aifa and the Ministry of Health, the Italians over 60 will have to access the fourth dose.
According to regional estimates, requests for vaccinations in the autumn should increase further with the arrival of updated vaccines and it is considered to reopen the facilities closed in recent months or to strengthen the operations of the centers that have never stopped.
Campania, Calabria, Basilicata, Piedmont, Friuli and even Lazio have already declared their willingness to move in this direction, in light of the trend in requests.
Each with a different recipe depending on the local organization.

As for the fourth dose for over 60s and over 80s

Covid leap, incidence above 1,000 in 11 Regions
THE EXTENDED REPORT OF THE ISS
From 24 August 2021 to 6 July 2022, 659,578 cases of reinfection
were reported
, equal to 4.6% of the total number of cases notified and the increase in the percentage of reinfections on the total reported cases continues, it is 10.8%, an increase compared to to the previous week (9.6%).
The analysis of the risk of reinfection starting from 6 December 2021 (reference date for the start of Omicron), sees an increased risk in those who have had Covid for over 210 days, in those who have not been vaccinated or vaccinated for over 120 days , in women, young people and health personnel.
This is highlighted in the extended weekly report Iss
.
Covid, Antonella Viola: 'Immediate vaccination for over 60s'
The
mortality rate of the population over 12 years
of age , out of 100 thousand people in the period 13/05 / 2022-12 / 06/2022, for the unvaccinated (11 deaths per 100,000 inhab.) Is 6 times higher than for vaccinated with a complete cycle for less than 120 days (2 deaths per 100,000 inhab.) and approximately 7 higher than those vaccinated with an additional / booster dose (2 deaths per 100,000 inhab.).
Compared to the overall population, the risk of death of the unvaccinated compared to the vaccinated is more than 7 times higher (7.1) and reaches 8 and a half times (8.5) in the over 80 population, we still read in the extended Report.
The incidence rate and the hospitalization rate are increasing in all age groups
.
To say this is the
extended weekly ISS report on Covid
which integrates Friday monitoring.
In the 30-39 age group the highest incidence rate is recorded at 14 days, equal to 1,843 per 100,000, while in the 0-9 age group the lowest value is recorded, 1,012 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.
The median age at diagnosis of the subjects reported in the last few weeks is stable and equal to 48 years.
The national incidence figure is 1071 in the period 1/7 / 2022-7 / 7/2022 compared to 763 in the period 24/06 / 2022- 30/06/2022.
"The transmissibility index is 1.40, far above the epidemic threshold. This indicates an epidemic in the acute phase, with a sharp increase in cases. Even the so-called Rt augmented, even if slightly decreasing, always remains much above the '1, and therefore in any case signals an expansion phase ".
This is explained by
Patrizio Pezzotti
, director of the epidemiology department of the ISS.
"The Rt index is calculated on the symptomatic cases of 2 weeks ago, (consolidated data), while the augmented RT, which refers to last week's data, is based on data that may still be unconsolidated due to notification delays ".
The green light from the EMA for the extension of the Covid vaccine to the over 60s should arrive within 24/48 hours. The decision in this sense, anticipated two days ago by Marco Cavaleri, head of the vaccine strategy of the European Medicines Agency (EMA), will then be received very closely in Italy, as reported by the Republic.
Aifa and the Ministry of Health, it has been learned, are already at work and after the drug agency's passage there will be a circular that will be sent to the Regions.
