Vaccination campaign for the third dose “to be accelerated”. Precisely to allow in “protection” the most delicate and potentially exposed sections of the population. It is not yet an alarm but there is certainly apprehension. The president of the Federation of Medical Orders (Fnomceo), Filippo Anelli, warns that we are heading towards “a critical moment with a new Delta variant mutation and an increase in infections among health workers”, a clear sign that the more relaxed phase of the pandemic appears, unfortunately , finished. The people who received the third additional dose are 202,621 (23.08% of the population potentially subject to the additional dose). “It is necessary to accelerate the third dose of the anti Covid vaccine to health workers”, rings out. Which urges acceleration «at a fairly critical moment because we don’t know, for example, when the modified Delta variant will arrive in Italy. And, also from this point of view, the vaccination of health workers becomes strategic for the health of citizens, so that the functioning of the National Health Service can always be guaranteed ”, he explains bluntly.

Who should be given the third dose.  Palù, here are the consequences of the Delta plus

Delta Plus variant, here are the symptoms of the new Covid: Italians anxious

The numbers speak for themselves. Since the second half of August, the number of cases in the general population, explains the Higher Institute of Health (ISS), is true that it has recorded a sharp decrease. However, the number of cases reported weekly among the population of health professionals is now increasing. As far as the general population is concerned, the infections appear at this time under control. But if the epidemic situation in Italy is defined as favorable by experts, now what is worrying is the counter-trend data for health professionals among whom infections are on the rise reaching 1,444 in the last 30 days.

The updated numbers of infections among doctors, nurses and health care workers are certified by the ISS. This week there were 371 new infections. Up from 306 cases monitored just 7 days ago. An increase that should not be underestimated (equal to 3.6% of the total number of cases in the population). Since February 2020, there have been a total of 144,812 cases among health professionals. An obvious alarm bell. In Italy 88,509,971 doses have been administered. The extraordinary commissioner, Francesco Paolo Figluolo, yesterday announced that «46,424,403 people have received at least one dose, 85.96% of the population over 12. The people who have completed the vaccination cycle are 44,262,785, 81.95% of the population over 12 “.
