Odyssey vaccinations Appeal from Picentini «Give us a bus» – breaking latest news

PONTECAGNANO FAIANO. Odyssey for the elderly of the Picentini. The vaccine becomes an ordeal for those who cannot travel by car. And the mayors are demanding buses. And closer centers. Guarantee a transport service to the elderly in the Picentini centers who are unable to reach the vaccination centers: this is the request made by some municipalities of the Zone S4 Social Plan, that of the Sele-Picentini area, led by the Municipality of Pontecagnano Faiano, during a meeting of the Institutional Coordination. Especially the innermost areas of the district are affected. It is difficult to reach the vaccination center of Giffoni Valle Piana, in the former Ramiera, especially when it comes to the elderly. Hence the request to make a transport service available to users, in order to facilitate mobility and connections between the various centers of the district. Instance embraced by several municipalities. Service that the same Social Plan should have made available to citizens who would have requested it. A difficult hypothesis to follow, as the mayor of Bellizzi, Mimmo Volpe, pointed out in his speech. He clarified that he understood the need expressed by the small municipalities, “however this is a delicate issue, as the responsibility for providing vaccinations lies with general practitioners also from an organizational point of view, in agreement with the Health Districts , and it would be advisable to consult the reference health facility “.
In fact, what emerged during the discussion of the Institutional Coordination was brought to the attention of the leaders of the local Health District. “We believe we have contributed to bringing out the requests coming above all from the most fragile citizens. The ASL will be able to take into consideration the problems present in some municipalities. In fact, it remains difficult for the Sector to organize a transport service. We proceeded to send the requests that emerged during the meeting to the heads of the Health District. The ideal would be to organize on site the administration of vaccines, ”said Aniello Landi, from the support structure at the Planning Office. And then it does it by itself.
The mayor of Giffoni Sei Casali, Francesco Munno, affirms that the problems present in his community have been addressed thanks to a fruitful collaboration with the offices in charge of the Health District. «Home vaccines have been organized. As many as 46% of the population underwent the administration. Also, we asked to arrange a open day only for citizens of our municipality, but at the Giffoni Valle Piana vaccination center, only on next Sunday. In Giffoni Sei Casali it would have been difficult to organize a hub with adequate workstations and spaces able to accommodate the people to be vaccinated ».
