Rome, April 29 (beraking latest news Salute) – “The pace of the” anti-Covid vaccination “campaign is growing slowly and steadily, but the target of 500,000 administrations per day is still far away. The failure to take off deliveries weighs heavily. In comparison with other European countries, Italy rises in the standings for coverage of the over 80s, but ranks fourth from last for the 60-69 and 70-79 bands “. This is highlighted by the latest report of the Gimbe Foundation on epidemiological monitoring in the week of 21-27 April.
“Unfortunately, the real change of pace in the vaccination of vulnerable groups – observes the president of the Foundation, Nino Cartabellotta – only took place starting from the second half of March and the improper use of vaccines during the first quarter on the one hand makes the reopening, on the other hand it does not make us look good in Europe in comparison with other countries “.
“As of April 28 (update 6.10), 22% of the population received at least one dose of vaccine (13,072,472) and 9.1% completed the vaccination cycle (5,430,357), with regional differences ranging from progressively flattening – highlights the Gimbe report – The doses continue to gradually rise, both looking at the number of weekly doses (+ 10.7% in the last 7 days), and at the 7-day moving average, increased from 324,081 per day (20 April ) to 355,582 per day (April 27) “.
“Despite this increase – comments Renata Gili, Head of Research on Health Services of the Gimbe Foundation – the number of daily vaccinations does not reach the targets defined for the week 22-29 April by the extraordinary commissioner, documenting organizational difficulties in some Regions in the timely administration of doses A clear reduction in inoculations on public holidays is also confirmed “.
