And if the reservations do not complete the places available, we will add other categories to be vaccinated, such as health professionals who ask to be immunized and people who have lost the first offer for various reasons and now request it “.
The head of the Prevention highlights that now the attention of the ULSS is focused entirely on the over 70s, who are 23,000 in the province. “To date there are still 10 thousand to be immunized, but we will soon do them with the help of family doctors as well.” Few refusals The number of people who refused the Covid vaccine varies from 1 to -2%: “A bit like it happens with immunizations for the pediatric age”, explains Cinquetti, who then announces: “Given the decline in contagions we are considering reducing the hours of some buffer points to employ staff in the vaccination campaign “. –
