In the Marches, family doctors also take the field in anticovid vaccinations. The regional council today approved the draft agreement reached with the trade union organizations. The distribution of personal protective equipment to participating doctors will begin in the next few days. Vaccination supplies will take place on a weekly basis (Pfizer / Moderna and AstraZeneca), calibrated to the quantity of doses ensured by national deliveries by liaising with the District Directors through their team Coordinators. Each doctor may vaccinate, from time to time, only the categories and priorities established by the regional vaccination plan, starting with patients over-80 already registered in the lists prepared in the booking platform and giving priority to the categories of extremely vulnerable subjects. “The collaboration of general practitioners is essential to give the hoped-for turnaround to the vaccination of the entire population of the region which represents the real bulwark to contain the spread of the pandemic and allow the resumption of economic and social activities throughout the country – highlights the president Francesco Acquaroli – On the basis of voluntary adhesions, we will be able to count on over 1,200 doctors throughout the territory. They will generate an exponential volume of essential vaccinations, such as those at home ”.
The councilor for health Filippo Saltamartini thanked the doctors for the agreement reached: “Their contribution will be fundamental to secure the epidemiological curve, stabilizing it at an acceptable level. Ultimately, it represents an important and significant milestone to counter the spread of the virus in the Marche region “. Positive the judgment of the FIMMG. The regional secretary Massimo Magi speaks of “an agreement that has all the prerequisites to be an agreement of excellence. A strongly integrated system is identified between the mass vaccination centers and the proximity vaccination that family doctors can carry out. The launch of the vaccination campaign will be sober because there are no vaccines. But nevertheless we will be able to leave immediately. As early as March 15 we will be ready, with the local team, to use all available vaccines “. The SNAMI regional secretary Fabrizio Valeri is also in tune: “The agreement provides for a collaboration with the districts, health houses and community hospitals that will allow, especially in the hinterland areas, disadvantaged for distances, to set up vaccination centers of proximity . A request from us has been accepted which will lead to a significant change in the implementation of the vaccination plan, especially in inland areas ”. The agreement provides for a fee of € 12.32 for outpatient services and € 18.32 for those at home. Doctors, in the first place, will have to vaccinate patients aged eighty or over who are unable to leave the home or are unable to reach vaccination centers and frail subjects. Asur may make available to the doctor, if necessary, additional spaces or personnel for vaccinations, including local offices already dedicated to general medicine such as Health Homes and Community Hospitals.
