The duration of the first phase is shortened by one week. Protocol with nursing homes for the consent of the elderly
VENEZIA. Luciano Flor enters the control room with full powers to win the vaccine challenge and makes it clear that the chosen path is very practical and fast: tacit consent is assumed.
That is, the Local Health Service will initiate the call for people with priority for phase 1 with an email, while those who reject the vaccine must justify it in writing. The same process will continue until September, with the reservation schedule already agreed with the staff who will then have to inject the doses to at least 3 or 4 million Venetians.
And if Confindustria con Enrico Carraro invokes a law to impose universal obligation, the clear answer comes from Flor: «We have no voice in the rights of the person, it is a matter of Parliament or the government. But I am convinced that as soon as we have immunized those over seventy, the mortality rate will drop significantly ”, explains the Secretary General of Health.
From Rome comes unexpected news: Pfizer-Biontech vaccines go up from 185,000 to 222,000 because you get six doses in the bottle and not five as Arcuri had reported. This allows to significantly reduce the coverage times of the categories of phase 1. In short, it will be possible to close in mid-January. The first 44 thousand bottles were delivered yesterday to the Padua hospital which then distributed them to the USL throughout Veneto: they are crumbs but the plan was sent, with the summons emails already typed by the USL staff.
It starts with healthcare personnel, a top priority for infectious disease wards, nursing homes and centers for the disabled. The first session will end quickly, as of January 18 the calls for the second dose will be activated. Bureaucratic problems in Rsa because the very old are assisted by supportive administrators who must participate in the decision-making process and bureaucratic times are likely to be prolonged.
Francesca Russo has issued a circular in which she invites the directors of the RSA to communicate to the Usl any list of guests who renounce the Covid vaccine, it is not enough to say non-verbally. A letter with a lot of signature is needed. Precisely to protect structures from judicial headaches associated with the extremely high rate of contagion. The vaccine may block the spread of the pandemic and Veneto hopes that the problems stemming from Astrazeneca, which is delaying the supply of 40 million doses bought in Italy, will be resolved quickly.
“We are in the hands of Commissioner Arcuri,” says Flor. On the front of the pandemic, the decline in infections has been reassuring for a few days, which have dropped from 5 to 2,900-3,000 per day.
This means that moving away from the red zone produces its positive effects, even if there are 1,777 symptomatic patients treated at home, to which we must add another 58,114 positive ones. These are people who complain of fever, muscle aches and loss of smell, followed by the Usca doctors: when their conditions get worse they go to the hospital. Those who recover go home after 10 to 15 days, but many end up in resuscitation if the infection worsens to bilateral pneumonia. The rehabilitation is very long, months and months of treatment in the special physiotherapy rooms to return to walking and climbing stairs without worries. –
