“The flu shots are there. They will arrive in warehouses and then will be distributed in pharmacies, where general practitioners can go to collect them as in previous years. We believe that the numbers are sufficient and the goal is to reach 75% of the population in the Bergamo area, starting from fragile patients with acute diseases and those over 65 years of age. This province, while still virtuous with doctors who historically adhere to the campaign en masse, last year stopped at 58% with 140,000 vaccinations. Now there is the unknown Covid, but we will be able to meet the needs “. Carlo Alberto Tersalvi, medical director of Ats Bergamo, calls for optimism a few days after the start of the vaccination campaign in Lombardy with about 800,000 doses available in October and about another 2 million in November, progressively extended to other subjects, including children up to 6 years and people between 60 and 64 years.
Ats shows a reasonable optimism to progressively satisfy the requests of doctors and of those taken in charge, pro quota of patients who need the vaccine, starting from the schedule dictated at the regional level, starting from the most fragile. «It will be possible to reach the Christmas threshold for vaccinations, the only inconveniences could be given by the fragmentation of the distribution of vaccines. Unfortunately, this year there is the Covid variable and it will be a particular campaign with the rules of distancing and we share the concerns of doctors in this respect. There will be misunderstandings, but we will make it ».
