A record of vaccinations Almost 15 thousand in one day – time.news

by time news

Administered nearly 15,000 doses of the vaccine in one day. It is a record figure in Abruzzo, which if it continued with these numbers would give a real turning point to its immunization campaign. A fight against the virus that was also enriched by the new platform managed by Poste Italiane for expressions of interest in vaccination, literally stormed on the first day of opening. As of yesterday afternoon, 24 hours after activation, there were over 21 thousand registrations received on the portal relating to the age group from 70 to 79 years. For seventy-year-olds from Abruzzo, the administration will start in just under ten days: the date indicated is that of Monday 19 April.
HE RECORD. At 20.05 yesterday, official data told of 285,220 doses administered in Abruzzo out of 355,340. As a percentage, this translates into the achievement of 80.3% of inoculations with respect to the available doses. But this is not the data that most impresses: the significant aspect of the update concerns the increase in vaccinations in a single day. In fact, 270,500 doses had been reached on Friday evening, yesterday 285,220. An increase of 14,720 doses. To understand the surge in the curve, it is enough to make a comparison with the last few days, when the peaks of administration amounted to around 7 thousand vaccines performed. That is about half compared to yesterday’s figure.
However, we will return later to talk about the statistics relating to the vaccination campaign in our region, with a further study.
THE NEW PLATFORM. Yesterday was also the time to make the very first budgets on vaccine reservations with the new platform. After about 24 hours from the start of the innovative way to express their interest in the vaccination campaign, yesterday there were 21,277 who had proceeded to complete the registration.
We remind you that for now, only Abruzzo citizens born between 1942 and 1951 can register: an age group that includes a very large audience of 135 thousand people. The procedures change but above all the waiting times: at the time of booking, in fact, every citizen will know in real time the date, time and place of the administration, thus avoiding long and exhausting waits. And we can speak of a promising start, even if there were some inconveniences. Among the users, in fact, there have also been some critical issues that the Region guarantees will be resolved within two days.
THE ADMINISTRATIONS. The vaccination campaign for seventy-year-olds will not start from the new week but from the following one. Confirmations come from the regional contact person Maurizio Brucchi: “From 19 onwards the local health authorities will be activated,” he declares to Center. The administrations will go on at least until the first ten days of May.
After the age group 70-79 years, we will proceed with the other categories: 60-69 years; people under the age of 60 and “comorbidities” (presence of pathologies not comparable to those of frail patients); the rest of the Abruzzese population under the age of 60 is at the bottom.
THE VACCINES. The hope is that yesterday’s data on administrations is the signal of a new acceleration in the anti Covid campaign. To strengthen the fight against the virus, about 38 thousand doses of Pfizer will arrive on Tuesday, while there is already a significant amount of AstraZeneca stock in stock. “There are about 30 thousand in the various pharmacies,” continues Brucchi.
ASTRAZENECA. But this type of vaccine continues to divide the population, between those who continue to consider it safe and those who fear for possible health risks.
But the regional referent for the campaign against the virus is clear on the subject: «The vaccine is effective and safe. The important thing is to investigate well from an anamnestic point of view if there are conditions, such as particular pathologies, that can lead to adverse reactions. However, “continues Brucchi,” excluding the use of this vaccine seems excessive to me. The side effects are significantly less than the benefits. It must be used with accuracy and according to the indications provided ».
THE UPDATE. But let’s get back to the numbers. Said of the almost 15 thousand administrations, it is also interesting to note the growth of people actually vaccinated with the first and second dose: they are 4,312 in the last day, 86,792 overall.
In the projections of OpenData and the Sole 24 Ore, with these rhythms Abruzzo would reach herd immunity in nine months and two days. The longed-for goal would therefore be cut on January 6, 2022. But it is a projection that can change from day to day, based on the daily updates on vaccinations. Surely, if the numbers were to be the record ones recorded yesterday, the timing to cover 70 percent of the population with first and second doses would be significantly reduced. That’s what everyone is hoping for now.
