UDINE. Very high numbers in the Natisone and Lower Valleys, some more difficulties in the Pedemontana area and in the mountains. The map of the vaccination rate on the population in Friuli Venezia Giulia traces the progress of the campaign in the region which now, from Monday 17 May, also opens to forty-year-olds.
The numbers of reservations
As mentioned, therefore, from Monday space for vaccinations, already from the days immediately following, to anyone who books his appointment for the first dose because the 10 thousand places available during the week, and not yet reserved by anyone, must be filled the first possible.
The press conference
The point of the situation in Friuli Venezia Giulia, Thursday 13th, was traced by the vice-president Riccardo Riccardi who, beyond the now known aspects – such as an adhesion of the 60-year-olds that does not go beyond 66% of those entitled to of half a percentage point per day “and a disappointment as regards” the reservations of the under 60 with diseases that do not exceed 28 thousand units on an audience of 77 thousand people “- has drawn a synthesis between the recent past and the near future.
“Unfortunately, even in the range of those between 50 and 59 years old – he said – we recorded a sharp slowdown after the boom of the initial day with 27,000 subscriptions.
We are convinced that we will see a trend similar to that of the 60-year-olds and this is particularly problematic if we consider that the 50-year-olds, with 53% membership as of Wednesday evening, represent the largest slice of the population in the region with almost 200,000 residents ”.
TO KNOW MORE. The infectious specialist: «Postponing the second dose is rational. Now the risk is not as high as in winter “
All this, among other things, risks also affecting the work of the health system.
“The incoming doses are objectively increasing – concluded Riccardi – and the commissioner Francesco Paolo Figliuolo has anticipated the deliveries relating to the first and third week, especially of AstraZeneca, to allow us to strengthen the system and secure the recalls, considering that we are approaching the twelfth week for those who have had the first dose of the Anglo-Swedish vaccine ».
