Bologna, October 1, 2020 – Vaccine chaos, we headlined yesterday. On October 12 we left for flu vaccine, but the doubts are many. They have been telling us for months: let’s get vaccinated, it is also necessary for Covid. Then, however, less than two weeks after the start, the puzzles are endless. Even in the virtuous Emilia Romagna, where a GP told us that “I don’t even sleep at night when I think about it.”
To learn more about the flu vaccine, it’s chaos: no one knows how – Available vaccines are growing in the pharmacies of Emilia Romagna – Influenza 2020, there is the first case: beforehand. He is a son of Parma – The cost. Here’s who it’s free for – The Guide
Raffaele Donini, regional adviser for health policies: many vaccines are missing, even in Emilia Romagna …
“I remember that Italy has 17 million doses of vaccines and 1 million and 400 thousand of these are available for Emilia-Romagna, more than 7% that we represent in demographic terms.”
What does that mean?
“That in our land the culture of vaccination is becoming more and more consolidated. Last year 850 thousand people were vaccinated in our Region, especially those over 75 years of age. This year we can make more than 1 million and 400 thousand vaccines, almost a third of the resident population, it would be a historic event “.
But if everyone at risk decides to get vaccinated, the doses will not be enough …
But we are still among the most virtuous. We have also promoted at the national level the creation of a control room between the regions so that none of the 17 million doses planned for Italy is left unused ”.
To individuals, the Region has allocated 3% of vaccines (about 36 thousand), but the pharmacies that had to supplement this quota with the purchase of other doses do not find any. How do citizens who are not at risk get vaccinated?
“We are the region that more than any other has destined doses to the free market. I know that the pharmacies, with their national associations, are looking for more new supplies.”
Family doctors are in an emergency. The number of people who want to get vaccinated will double this year. They don’t have enough time because the procedure takes twice as long.
“According to ministerial regulations, the vaccination period starts from October 12 to January. For vaccination methods by general practitioners, each Ausl has been defining organizational models for some time with representatives of general practitioners, and we are well advanced” .
The mayor of Bologna Merola spoke of mobile units in the suburbs to vaccinate. Will do? And only in Bologna?
“The organizational modalities, in each Ausl, will be indicated based on the agreements between the Companies and the General Practitioners. The mobile units or dedicated spaces can be a solution that is added to the others already in the field “
Is the departure date of October 12 only theoretical or also practical?
“On October 12 we officially started with the vaccines. Citizens can now contact their GP or the local health authority to make an appointment. In her studies, the doses will arrive next week ”.
