Vaccini: Gimbe, 7,1 million people without even one dose. Still too many unprotected. But coverage with 3 doses at 83,5%
85,4% of the population has received at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine and 82% has completed the vaccination cycle, but 7,1 million people have not yet received even one dose.
The coverage rate of third doses is, instead, 83,5% but with clear regional differences: it goes from 77,5% in Sicily to 89% in Valle D'Aosta. This is revealed by the new independent monitoring of the Gimbe Foundation, updated to February 9 at 6:XNUMX am.
In particular, according to the new monitoring by the Gimbe Foundation, for the 5-11 age group, 1.283.289 children have received at least one dose (of which 761.023 have completed the cycle), with a national coverage rate of 34,9% but, again, with many regional differences: from 18,9% in the Autonomous Province of Bolzano to 51,5% in Puglia.
"These data – we read in the report – lead to two considerations: if on the one hand the fact that over 1,7 million people have come into contact with the virus raises the level of immunity of the population, on the other hand the number of people not protected from Covid-19 is still very high and, above all, the immunity deriving from the infection progressively decreases over time, confirming the need to get vaccinated within 6 months of infection”.
