Covid Italy, report: vaccines in sharp decline, less than 100 thousand a day

The vaccination campaign against Covid in Italy is at stake. The trend is now in sharp decline: since the beginning of March vaccinations have been below the threshold of 100,000 daily administrations, a trend comparable to January 2021, the first month of the vaccination campaign. This is highlighted by the 89th episode of the Instant Report Covid-19 of the High School of Economics and Management of Health Systems (Altems) of the Catholic University. The Region with the highest coverage is Tuscany (81.7%) while the Autonomous Province of Bolzano is in the rear, with the lowest percentage of individuals who have completed the vaccination cycle (70.6%). In Italy, 77.6% of the population is totally immunized. “Since the start of the vaccination campaign, Italians have responded well to vaccinations – comments Professor Americo Cicchetti, director of Altems – but we still have some room for improvement for the last hesitant citizens , especially in the 50-59 age group, where double-dose immunizations are around 90%, and in the 40-49 age group where they are around 86%. Excellent guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health – he concludes – for the immunization of the Ukrainian population that we are welcoming in Italy “.
