The most popular rivers, such as Romagna, Versilia, Salento or those of Sardinia. And the mountain resorts, in the Aosta Valley or in the Dolomites area between South Tyrol and Trentino. The vaccination points this summer could be moved to the busiest areas during the holidays, by young people but not only. The extraordinary commissioner for the emergency, Francesco Figliuolo, he is thinking of a special plan together with his collaborators. There is a risk that many people do not get vaccinated because they do not want to be tied to appointments in their cities during the holidays. And then it is thought to reinforce the offer where there is a greater influx of vacationers. Both to do the boosters and the first doses.
General Figliuolo: “After the over 65s we will vaccinate the youngest on vacation and in schools”
by Michele Bocci, Tommaso Ciriaco
A Republic General Figliuolo explained that he is working on a plan, which must be organized together with the Regions. The fear is that especially young people skip the coverage in order not to miss the holidays and there is, perhaps in a small view of the spread of vaccination, a phenomenon similar to last year, when many young people brought the virus back home after being infected in the clubs and in other gathering places. Facilities must be identified and the amount of vaccines required must also be estimated. To make the operation easier, there should be the level of coverage already advanced in the company. Before the summer, most of the over 65s should have received the vaccine and the system of direct access to the centers where the administration is made for younger people could have started. There would therefore be no bookings to manage in the holiday resorts.
The plan for the summer is not the only one being studied by the commissioner. We also think of the youngest, that is, those who attend schools. Almost all manufacturers are also testing their vaccines on minors, for which there are no indications for now. If the green light from the regulatory authorities arrives, we must be ready with a specific immunization campaign for children and young people. Figliuolo recalled when, in the 1970s, vaccinations were made at school. Also in this case, its structure begins to think about how the organization could be, which could start when the schools reopen after the summer holidays. In that way the coverage of the population would be even more complete. Young people do not undergo serious forms of Covid, but, it has been proven, they make the virus run, perhaps even asymptomatic. Preventing contagion in those age groups would give a very important blow to the circulation. Perhaps the definitive one.
