Vaccination campaign in Venice, the surprise: giving 400 first doses
MESTRE – «Anyone who is unwell should swab. And who turns out positive respect the quarantine ». According to experts, we are heading towards the peak of the Covid summer pandemic wave and the director of the Ulss 3 Prevention Department, Vittorio Selle, warns: “The data in all probability are underestimated. We have a thousand new infected people a day, but they could be double or even triple ”, he had already said the day before yesterday. This happens because not all symptoms go to swab since the Green pass is no longer mandatory, perhaps because you have to leave for the holidays, which you do not want to lose, or even just to avoid having to lock yourself in the house waiting. of negativization. Behaviors that end up favoring the circulation of the virus. Fortunately in the great majority of cases the disease is however not with a very flu-like set of symptoms.
THE NUMBERS
Yesterday the regional bulletin counted another 1,630 new positives in the province (with 17,060 people currently positive), 137 hospitalized with six intensive care units. “The resurgence of the contagion we are witnessing in these days – Selle – shows us that we cannot think of a” free everyone “: we must affirm to continue to protect ourselves, taking into account precautions from the mask to hand hygiene, up to the distancing in public places. But above all we must be responsible: those who have symptoms attributable to Covid must undergo a swab and those who are positive must respect the necessary isolation, according to the times and methods indicated, especially in order not to infect those who are elderly or frail “.
COUNTRYSIDE
In the meantime, the vaccination campaign has resumed a couple of days with the launch of the fourth doses open to all over-sixty-year-olds, and to all “frail” people from the age of 12. The start was very good and, somewhat surprisingly, even with a certain recovery of the first doses for those who until now had been in fact “no-vax” but obviously changed their minds. Yesterday, in the middle of the day, almost a thousand fourth doses and about 200 first doses were recorded throughout the Ulss 3 for a total of 1,143 anti Covid vaccinations carried out. Of these, 727 were performed only at the PalaExpo in Marghera and as many as 828 were administered to people between 60 and 79 years old, with many free accesses (about one third of the total). Even the day before yesterday, the first doses were about 200, and we are starting to talk about important numbers.
THE INVITATION
«All those who can take the fourth dose – Selle – must feel the moral duty to adhere to vaccination. We are still far from the moment in which Covid can be considered an outdated problem and its spread or its containment still depends a lot on the behavior of individuals “. As for the fourth doses, at least 120 days may have elapsed from the third administration or from the healing of the infection. Faced with the possibility that a slice of people, even if they can, do not adhere to it, Ulss 3 reiterates: «What will be, we will see. In the meantime, let’s make good use of the weapons available ».
