The third dose of the anti Covid-19 vaccine is also underway for particularly vulnerable people. For highly frail adults, who fall into the categories indicated by the ministerial circular, a special button will be open from the afternoon of today 13 October on the bookingavaccino.sanita.toscana.it portal, to make an appointment in the vaccination centers. Simply enter the date of the last dose of the primary vaccination cycle and select your pathology from those listed.
“Tuscany is running in the campaign to administer booster doses of the anti Covid19 vaccine – comments the president Eugenio Giani -. One day in advance we open the reservation of the third dose for all those highly frail subjects, which fall within the ministerial circular of 8 October. It is in our interest – he continues – to give our citizens the opportunity to carry out the additional dose of vaccine enhancement as soon as possible, especially to the most vulnerable groups. This is why I asked the Digital Healthcare and Innovation sector, which I thank, to anticipate the release of the new booking function on the portal ”.
“The third dose is essential for the protection of health – explains the councilor for health Simone Bezzini – in particular in the most fragile subjects by age or pathology. The vaccine is the strongest tool at our disposal against the virus, as evidenced by the data on infections and hospitalizations. I invite all those for whom it is indicated to book the third dose as soon as possible both through the online services, decisive during the period of the pandemic and in the first phase of the vaccination campaign, and through all the other active and widespread booking and administration channels on the regional territory “.
Those who are entitled to the third dose (such as those who have to carry out the first vaccination cycle) can therefore also contact the Tuscan pharmacies and parapharmacies, which have confirmed their willingness to make reservations and provide information, which are in addition to those where they also carry out the administrations.
This service aimed at everyone, offered by pharmacies, which are widespread throughout the territory, can be particularly useful, at this stage, to older people, who are not familiar with digital tools.
