the president Albert Cirio and the commissioner Louis Icardi have presented the update of the Piedmont vaccination plan, with the phases and the timetable revised after the meetings with the national commissioner structure in recent days. The goal is to lower lethality and limit the spread of the virus.
Over 80s
Cirio and Icardi have announced that each general practitioner will determine the vaccination priorities of the over-80s they are in charge of on the basis of each one's pathologies and will upload them to a special platform. The local ASL will send each elderly person a letter and a text message to indicate the location of the vaccination, which will not be the doctor's office, which cannot keep the Pzifer and Moderna vaccines that will be used, but 60 district polyclinics, health homes and other locations. General practitioners will be present here for the administration of the vaccine.
The logistics will be taken care of by the ASL, also using the volunteers of the Civil Protection and the Crosses. The family doctors will inoculate the doses. People who cannot move will be taken care of by the ASL, which will send doctors and nurses home. Each doctor will have to take care of an average of 125 over 80s. The goal is to vaccinate 10,000 people a day.
In the Rsa, the vaccination of new entries and newly hired operators will continue.
Rivolgendosi ai 370.000 ultra80enni, il presidente Cirio ha dichiarato che “per voi abbiamo individuato un percorso dedicato che vede protagonista il vostro medico di medicina generale, il medico di fiducia, quello della vostra famiglia e che quindi vi vedrà accompagnare al vaccino che vi verrà somministrato all’interno delle strutture individuate. Non gli ospedali, ma sedi messe a disposizione proprio per garantire un vaccino in sicurezza, ma soprattutto un vaccino immediato”.
To strengthen the vaccination team, 181 nurses and doctors made available by the national commissioner will arrive in Piedmont.
