Less than 7 out of 100 Italians have undergone the fourth booster dose of the anti-Covid.
The national average for the fourth dose is 6,63%. The over-80s are the age group with the highest coverage (29,83%), followed by people aged 60-79, with a coverage of 12,93%. Among the over-80s, the region with the highest coverage is Piedmont (61,74%), while the lowest coverage is recorded in Calabria (15,49%).
In the 60-79 age group, the region with the highest coverage is Emilia-Romagna (23,34%) while the lowest coverage is recorded in Sicily (6,36%). This is what emerged from the 98th episode of the Instant Report Covid-19 of the Graduate School of Economics and Management of Health Systems of the Catholic University of systematic comparison of the trend of the spread of Sars-COV-2 at a national level.
The analysis concerns all 21 Italian Regions and Autonomous Provinces. “The coverage of the fourth dose of the anti-Covid 19 vaccine is at 7% in the Italian population, underlines Professor Americo Cicchetti, director of the Graduate School of Economics and Management of Health Systems of the Catholic University (ALTEMS), with great variability between age groups and regions, which after the end of the state of emergency have full responsibility for the continuation of the vaccination campaign as well as the management of supplies.
It is not a simple scenario that is emerging, continues Cicchetti, with a slight increase in all the indicators mapped by ALTEMS regarding the spread of the infection: approximately 1 million new cases have been recorded in the last 30 days.
Looking at the trend of the variation in the saturation rates of beds in Intensive Care (IC) and Non-Critical Area (ANC), it appears to be increasing (increase in the saturation rates of beds in IC and ANC) with the exception of a decrease in the saturation rates of beds in IC (Marche, Abruzzo, Campania, Puglia and Sicily) and a decrease in the saturation rates of beds in ANC (Molise, Puglia and Sicily).
” Epidemiological picture. With regard to the epidemiological aspects, the important differences in terms of incidence of the spread of Covid-19 in the different Regions are confirmed, which also continue in Phase 2. The data (as of 10 October 2022) show 0,89% of positive cases on the national territory and 38,47% of cases compared to the general population. The percentage of the national population deceased is equal to 0,30%: 177.570 people have been lost since the beginning of the contagion.
The number of new cases in the last 30 days is 890.053, while the number of discharged recovered in the last 30 days is 817.794. The number of people who died in the last 30 days is 1.477. With reference to the swabs carried out in the last 30 days, 4.247.828 antigenic swabs and 958.678 molecular swabs were recorded.
The weekly incidence corresponds to the number of new cases that emerged within the regional population in the time interval considered. The past week shows an increase in the weekly incidence, recording a national value of 420 new cases per 100.000 residents.
In the last 30 days, the geographical areas with the highest incidence data are the North-East and the North-West. The point prevalence corresponds to the proportion of the regional population that was found to be positive for the virus on 10 October 2022 (cases already positive at the beginning of the period plus new cases that emerged during the period).
The past week shows an increase in the weekly point prevalence, recording a national value of 879 per 100.000 residents. The apparent crude lethality corresponds to the number of patients who died among subjects positive for COVID-19 in the time interval considered. The past week shows a stable trend in the weekly apparent crude lethality, recording a national value of 0,5 per 1.000 cases.
Crude mortality corresponds to the number of patients who died within the reference population in the time interval considered. The past week shows an increase in crude weekly mortality, recording a national value of 0,6 per 100.000 residents. In the last 30 days, the geographical areas with the highest mortality data are the North-East and the Center.
molecular swabs and antigen swabs. The trend in the number of weekly molecular swabs per 1.000 inhabitants was analyzed. The past week shows an increase in the number of weekly molecular swabs performed, recording a national value of 3,20 per 1.000 cases. The trend in the number of weekly antigen swabs per 1.000 inhabitants was analyzed.
The past week shows an increase in the number of weekly antigen swabs performed, recording a national value of 17 per 1.000 cases. Intensive care. Trend of Hospitalized/Positives. The trend of hospitalized patients on weekly positives per 1.000 inhabitants was analyzed.
The past week shows an increase in the number of hospitalized weekly positives, recording a national value of 12,40 per 1.000 cases. New Weekly Admissions to Intensive Care. The trend of new weekly admissions to intensive care per 100.000 inhabitants was analyzed.
The past week shows an increase in new weekly admissions to intensive care, recording a national value of 0,30 per 100.000 residents. In the last 30 days, the geographical areas with the highest data on new weekly admissions to ICU are the North-East. Intensive Care Unit Saturation Trend. The trend of the weekly saturation rate of intensive care units was analyzed.
The past week shows an increase in the weekly saturation rate of intensive care units, recording a national value of 2,58%. In the last 30 days, the geographical areas with the highest saturation data of intensive care units are the North-East and the Center. Variation in saturation rates of beds in Intensive Care and Non-Critical Areas.
The indicator shows the variation in the saturation rates of beds in Intensive Care (IC) and Non-Critical Area (ANC) in the Italian Regions in the period 12 September 2022 – 11 October 2022. The trend of the variation appears to be entirely positive (increase in the saturation rates of beds in Intensive Care and Non-Critical Area) with the exception of a decrease in the saturation rates of beds in Intensive Care (Marche, Abruzzo, Campania, Puglia and Sicily) and a decrease in the saturation rates of beds in Non-Critical Area (Molise, Puglia and Sicily).
