Campania, children's vaccine. The first 50 children have been vaccinated out of only 5.206 children between the ages of 5 and 11 who have been booked for vaccination on the regional platform.
The data is updated to yesterday evening, on the eve of the start of the vaccination campaign for this age group, which started this morning.
Numbers that certify the delay of Campania compared to other regions of the Center and North, such as Lazio and Lombardy, also considering that in Campania there are approximately 400 thousand under 12s affected.
Despite the slow start, the President of the Region, Vincenzo De Luca, is preaching optimism and says he is convinced that, as the days go by, the trend is destined to improve.
Also because, after the symbolic start this morning, with the vaccination of 50 children from the 'Vittorino da Feltre' comprehensive institute in Naples, the plan is to have a mass campaign starting December 22, coinciding with the closure of schools for the Christmas holidays. In all the hubs in Campania, ad hoc spaces are being set up for the little ones and the Region has already set aside about 156 thousand doses of pediatric Pfizer to be used for this age group.
While the 'governor' invites citizens to talk to doctors and pediatricians and not to listen to the “imbeciles and illegal parking attendants” who appear on television programs to support the anti-vax theses, the numbers of infections in the 5-11 age group continue to grow, following the general trend.
Yesterday's data, referring to December 14, speak of 308 positive cases aged between zero and 11 years, while the day before there were 239.
