Fourth anti-covid dose: over 100 thousand administrations in Tuscany. Come and book
The figures of the Region
FLORENCE – The fourth dose of the anti-Covid vaccine in Tuscany crosses the milestone of 100 thousand administrations. At 11 am this morning, June 25, 2022, the real-time monitoring of the regional web portal was marking 100,728 doses for accuracy.
According to the national provisions of the vaccination campaign, the fourth doses are recommended to people over 80, to those aged 60 or over with high frailty, to RSA guests and to subjects with marked impairment of the immune response (for causes related to the disease basic, drug treatments or because they have undergone solid organ transplantation).
“We have exceeded an important threshold, which represents a particularly significant data in this new phase that sees an increase in positive cases with the contagion curve that has started to rise”, comments the councilor for the right to health Simone Bezzini, underlining how ” the regional health service continues to maintain a high level of attention in order to protect the most fragile sections of the population and, at the same time, guarantee collective health ”. Bezzini takes the opportunity of exceeding the quota of 100 thousand fourth doses “both to thank once again the work and commitment of health workers, as well as volunteers, and to renew the appeal to the Tuscan community to follow the trend and provisions on vaccination campaign “.
“Covid – concludes Bezzini – continues to lurk. Most of the obligations and restrictions are currently, but as Minister Speranza correctly says today, it is the moment of everyone’s responsibility. Let’s not throw away the advantage we have managed to gain over the virus. Those who have not yet done so get vaccinated, it is a gesture of love for themselves and responsibility for others ”.

The vaccination campaign continues for everyone
The vaccination campaign continues for all other citizens, to whatever category and age group they belong. The health authorities reiterate, in fact, the importance of putting in maximum protection all subjects, who have not yet received the third dose, as well as those who have never undertaken the primary vaccination cycle.
The administration of the fourth vaccination dose is also strongly recommended to all subjects marked impairment of the immune response (due to causes related to the underlying disease, to pharmacological treatments or because undergoing solid organ transplantation) for which the administration of the fourth dose must be considered equivalent to the first booster dose, given that for them the primary vaccination course consists of three rather than the appropriate doses.
It is the task of the reference centers of the specialized structures of the health companies (territorial and hospital-university, which are responsible for the management of the person’s clinical path) to provide for the direct call of patients with the required requisites. Vaccination is carried out in hospital, in outpatient settings or in specialist centers. If the subject is being treated at extra-regional specialist centers or is in other particular conditions, he or she can contact the single regional number 800-556060.
