UDINE. The Region exceeds half a million vaccines administered – between first and second doses – which is worth almost a third of citizens immunized with the first injection and 14% with the entire cycle.
But it has to deal with a marked slowdown in adhesions among 50-year-olds after the boom of the initial day. Furthermore, since yesterday, the booking agendas for volunteers, operators and, more generally, personnel who will work in various capacities in the summer centers of Friuli Venezia Giulia have been open, while another 240 places have been made available for the “vax days” of Villa Manin scheduled for Saturday and Sunday in Passariano.

The numbers
The numbers, updated on Tuesday morning, say that Friuli Venezia Giulia with the 10,000 116 injections carried out on Monday has exceeded, since the beginning of the campaign, the quota of 500,000 administrations, reaching exactly 501,000 252. Currently, therefore, it has been reached with at least one dose, 27.7% of the residents in the region – which is equivalent to about 334 thousand people, therefore a third of those over 16 years of age -, while 14% – that is, more or less 167 thousand residents – carried out even the recall.
Currently Friuli Venezia Giulia, which has less than 100,000 doses in stock pending deliveries between this and the next few weeks, has used 94% of Pfizer’s vials, 52% of Moderna, 71% of AstraZeneca and 22% of Johnson & Johnson for an average use, again yesterday morning, of 83.4% compared to the 600 thousand 735 units arrived in the region.
As regards the overall coverage, therefore, 87.3% of the over 80s, 60.1%, was achieved with at least one dose – taking into account the number of total residents and not those who decided to get vaccinated. of 70-year-olds and 29.2% of 60-year-olds.

The accessions
There seems to be no real peace in Friuli Venezia Giulia with regard to accession to the vaccination campaign. After the low percentage rate reached among the 60-year-olds (we are at 66%), in fact, the problems begin to materialize even among those between the ages of 50 and 59.
The audience of potential vaccinators, we recall, is equal to 198 thousand people, of which, however, 58 thousand had booked in the previous weeks because they belonged to categories already authorized by the national commissioner.

On Monday, therefore, about 27 thousand of the 140 thousand who remained as entitled have reserved their appointment, suggesting a high level of adhesion also in the following days. Yesterday, however, the trend of bookings gave very little comfort because if at 12.30 only 3 thousand 700 bookings had accumulated among the 50-year-olds – out of a total of 6 thousand 800 new subscribers – at the end of the day this figure had risen to 6 200 thousand – out of a total of 11 thousand 615 – bringing the partial, in two days, to 33 thousand 545: not exactly an extremely flattering result for an age group that represents one sixth of the inhabitants of Friuli Venezia Giulia.
Reservations
Availability of places for vaccinations, non-excellent memberships and incoming doses have therefore convinced the Region to further expand the vaccination agenda by opening, as of yesterday, to operators and educators who will serve in the summer centers starting from the month of June, as well as to those who, for various reasons, will have access to the facilities and will collaborate with the managers in organizing and conducting activities for minors. It is, in spans, a basket of between one thousand and one thousand 500 people.
The vaccination will be booked at the online Cup in the “school staff” category and it will also be necessary to fill in a self-certification of notorious deed downloadable from the Region’s website. «We need quick answers – said the councilor for health Riccardo Riccardi and that of education Alessia Rosolen – because summer is upon us. Time is crucial, starting with the planning of vaccines both for educators and for those who will accompany minors in the centers and in summer activities: their vaccination implies first of all the protection of families. Pending the definition of the national reference framework and the safety protocol for the reopening of the summer camps, which the Regions will have to comply with, we believe it is strategic to move in advance ».

Vax-day a Villa Manin
The availability of places to participate in the two “vax days” on Saturday and Sunday at Villa Manin is extended to other 240 appointments spread over the two days. Faced, in fact, with the exhaustion of the first 2 thousand places – one thousand on Saturdays and the same number on Sundays – the Friuli Centrale health authority has decided to increase the offer with a further 120 places per day. In Passariano the two days will take place under the banner of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine which is currently preferentially recommended for people over 60, but, unlike all other drugs, it is a single-dose drug which, therefore, does not need any I recall how, instead, both AstraZeneca and the two based on mRna, namely Pfizer and Moderna.
