The administration of the fourth dose of the anti Covid vaccine “skyrockets”: + 190% in 7 days, but “still far from the target of 100 thousand per day and too many regional differences”. As of July 20, there were 1,303,485 fourth doses, with an average of 31,686 administrations per day (up from 11,000 last week). The positives in Italy are “1.45 million and could actually be at least double” with a “likely increase in hospitalizations” in the coming weeks. Hence, it is important to use masks indoors and, above all, to administer the 4 / a dose as soon as possible to over 60 and frail “. This is highlighted by the new Gimbe monitoring.
