27 September 2021 The Piedmont Region has asked the ASL to summon the 158 thousand over 60 not yet vaccinated. This is the indication that emerged from the meeting on Monday with the Crisis Unit of the Region, in the presence of President Alberto Cirio.



The numbers in Piedmont


In detail, in Piedmont, out of a population of over 1.4 million over 60, 90% have already joined the vaccination campaign and of these over 95% have already completed the vaccination cycle. 158 thousand people are still missing, including 6 thousand who have contracted Covid in the last 6 months. As a further attempt to convince the undecided, the Region has instructed the local health authorities to send each of them a letter home, with a reservation (date, time and place) to be vaccinated, specifying that, although there is no obligation , vaccination represents a fundamental prevention tool. This is confirmed by the data on hospitalizations in intensive care which currently affect 74% of unvaccinated people in Piedmont. The initiative,explain Cirio and the councilor for health Luigi Icardi joins the others that the Region has already put in place in recent months (from direct access to the choice of vaccine) to expand the audience of over 60s as much as possible. 



Published the circular of the Ministry of Health on the third dose


The new circular indicating which categories will be administered the third dose of the anti-Covid vaccine has been published by the Ministry of Health. These are subjects from 80 years of age, staff and guests of residential facilities for the elderly and, at a later stage, the health professions and health care workers who carry out their activities in health, social and social welfare structures, public and private, in pharmacies, parapharmacies and in clinics, from the age of 60 or with concomitant disease such as to make them vulnerable to severe forms of COVID-19 or with a high level of exposure to infection.

Minister of Health Roberto Speranza

he commented on the publication of the new circular, representing: "Let's start with the third dose for eighty-year-olds, guests of the Rsa and health personnel. We immediately give more protection to the most vulnerable and to those who work in health centers".
