"From February we will have 240 vaccines available. Our priority is to vaccinate the over-80s and we will concentrate the doses that arrive for this."
The announcement was made by the President of the Campania Region, Vincenzo De Luca, during the usual live broadcast Facebook of Friday.
“Campania residents who are over 80 years old will be able to join the vaccination campaign either on the Region’s website, or through their general practitioner or through a trusted pharmacy. Therefore – De Luca reiterates – they have these three options for giving their consent.
From 7-10 February when we will have vaccines, and we will also be sure to be able to do the boosters after 3 weeks, we will start the vaccination campaign for the over 80s. From tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, the over XNUMXs will be able to make themselves available to undergo the vaccine in February.
We have a not small percentage of elderly people, however, who will not be able to move, they will be vaccinated at home. Those who can move will have indications of the places that will be indicated”.
“I tell those over 80 that they can give their consent to the vaccine in three ways: at the pharmacy, through the general practitioner or on the Campania Region website” he concludes.
The vaccination of the over-eighties in Campania will therefore take place through the mediation of general practitioners who will book the patients on the ASL platform, specifying whether they want to go in person to get vaccinated or are unable to move and will wait at home.
The news was learned from the Campania Crisis Unit which is finalizing preparations for the first opening of the covid19 vaccination to the population, after the phase of health workers.
Every person over eighty will first communicate to their doctor their desire to undergo the vaccine and then the doctor together with the patient will evaluate whether to have them called for the dose or have a USCA go to their home to vaccinate them. In Campania, there are approximately 320.000 people over eighty. Their vaccination will last between two and three months.
