The categories that will have priority
- Health and social health workers. “Frontline” healthcare and social health workers, both public and private accredited, are at increased risk of being exposed to COVID-19 infection and of transmitting it to susceptible and vulnerable patients in healthcare and social settings. Furthermore, it is recognized that vaccination of frontline health and social health workers will help maintain the resilience of the health service.
- Residents and staff of residential care centers for the elderly. A high percentage of nursing homes (RSAs) have been severely affected by COVID-19. Residents of these facilities are at high risk for serious illness due to advanced age, the presence of multiple comorbidities, and the need for help with eating and other daily activities.
- Elderly people. An age-based vaccination schedule is generally easier to implement and allows for greater vaccination coverage. It is also clear that an age-based program increases coverage even in people with clinical risk factors, since the prevalence of comorbidities increases with age. Therefore, given the high probability of developing a serious disease and the consequent recourse to admission to intensive or sub-intensive care, this population group represents a priority for vaccination.
As reported by the Ministry of Health, Comirnaty (Pfizer / Bionthec), the first vaccine approved by EMA (European Medicines Agency), It is currently not recommended for children under the age of 16. The European Agency, as well as other international agencies, await further studies to authorize vaccination in the pediatric population.
