Long lines formed today for vaccinations at the Mostra d'Oltremare in Naples, where many citizens had to wait in line for up to three hours to get their shot.
Today 1500 citizens between 70 and 79 years old were summoned to Mostra d'Oltremare in the morning and then 1131 over 80s in the afternoon for the second dose. Many difficulties due to the long waits with elderly people who were able to walk but were still very tired from waiting so long standing. “This morning – replies Ciro Verdoliva, general manager of theASL Napoli 1 – over 250 people over 80 came to receive the second dose but they had been called for the afternoon. Since they are 85-86 year olds, I honestly didn't feel like telling them to go home and show up at the time regularly indicated in the message they had received and so we vaccinated them.

This created an initial imbalance, which was then accentuated as the hours passed by by the long discussions that citizens aged 70 to 79 have with the doctor to convince him to vaccinate them with Pfizer and not with Astrazeneca. But this is a bottleneck that we have had for many days now. The combination of these two factors has inevitably lengthened the queues”. At the end of the 1500 citizens aged 70 to 79 summoned, 1105 got the vaccine while 395, 26%, refused. The vaccinations ended at 20.10:XNUMX pm. “I remind all citizens once again to please show up at the time indicated in the summons, at most half an hour early, to avoid problems for the organization which is calibrated on the number of those summoned for each time”, concludes Verdoliva.
