Toscana exceeds 50 thousand fourth dose vaccine administrations

(ANSA) – FLORENCE, MAY 17 – Today in Tuscany the 50 thousand administrations of fourth doses of the anti Covid vaccine, reserved for people over 80, over 60 with high frailty and people with marked impairment of the immune response, have exceeded. This was revealed by the regional portal https://vaccinazioni.sanita.toscana.it, which monitors the progress of the anti-Covid vaccination campaign in real time.

“The administration of the fourth doses is growing. Today we have exceeded 50 thousand and it is important to continue in this direction – comments the regional councilor for the right to health Simone Bezzini -. I share the appeal of Minister Speranza, who recommends the administration of the fourth dose in particular in some segments of the population that are more fragile by age or due to concomitant and pre-existing diseases, in order to strengthen the anti-Covid protection. Even if we are in a decreasing phase of infections, the virus continues to circulate and it is our duty to offer people more at risk all possible tools to protect themselves from the serious consequences of the disease. I thank those who have chosen to get vaccinated and the health and volunteer staff still committed, always at the forefront, in the vaccination campaign “. (HANDLE).
