Toti: “Get vaccinated even against the flu”
“The first two cases of influenza have been isolated in Verona and Lazio. In our laboratories there are fewer and fewer infections from Covid-19 while the viruses that circulated before the pandemic are increasing. If on the one hand we are giving the Coronavirus a push from ‘other we risk an increase in the circulation of the flu virus, which was almost eliminated last winter thanks to the containment measures, such as the use of the mask. In this phase, therefore, it is particularly important to get vaccinated against the flu and to continue to respect the rules. “Thus the president of the Liguria Region and councilor for health Giovanni Toti regarding the flu vaccination campaign.
“I remember that the Liguria Region was the first in Italy to offer the categories entitled to the opportunity to perform the flu also in pharmacies – Toti emphasized -, with the possibility of a joint administration with the anti Covid vaccine. Last year we managed to significantly increase the number of citizens vaccinated against the flu and this year the Liguria Region purchased 100,000 doses more than in the previous campaign, for a total of over 600,000 doses of the flu vaccine “. when it concerns the progress of the pandemic “also in this case the vaccines are allowing us to keep Covid-19 under control – said Toti -. In fact, the average weekly incidence stands at 31 cases per 100 thousand inhabitants. On the other hand, about 2,000 people over 80 and over 60 have booked for the third dose, an important signal from the people most exposed to the virus in view of the winter “.
The details of the new positives, referring to the residence of the person tested:
IMPERIA (Asl 1): 20
SAVONA (Asl 2): 7
GENOA: 24, of which:
Asl 3: 15

According to the bulletin released by the Region, in the last 24 there has been a death, an 83-year-old man in the hospital of Sanremo.
The number of people admitted to Ligurian hospitals is increasing. There are currently 69 patients (1 more than on Saturday), of which 10 are in intensive care.

Vaccinations
An additional 458 vaccines have been administered in the past 24 hours. The total of administrations in Liguria rises to 2,252,762, equal to 88% of the doses delivered.
In Italy
Slight drop in the epidemic curve in Italy, which had been growing for several days. The new cases in the last 24 hours are 3,725 against 3,908 yesterday. Reduction in the number of tampons, 403,715 (yesterday 491,574) with a positivity rate that rises to 0.9% (+ 0.1%). Deaths decreased, 24 (yesterday 39), for a total of 131,826 victims since the beginning of the epidemic. Intensive care units increased by 3 units (yesterday -5) and are 341 with 18 admissions per day, as are ordinary hospitalizations, which have been increasing for a few days: they are 18 more (yesterday +12) and 2,473 in all. This is what emerges from the daily bulletin of the Ministry of Health.
The updating of the situation in the different regions
The region with the most cases today is Campania (+467), followed by Lazio (+459), Veneto (+398) and Lombardy (+393). The total cases are 4,741,185. The healed are 2,940 (yesterday 3,579) for a total of 4,534,584. On the rise the number of currently positive, 759 (yesterday 287) and are 74,775 overall. Of these, 71,961 patients are in home isolation (yesterday 71,223).
The vaccination plan of the Italian government, meanwhile, is in full swing and the 130,000 doses administered in February are a distant memory: with over 500,000 doses per day, 86% of citizens are now vaccinated. The emergency, which confirms the importance of vaccine boosters, concerns healthcare workers among whom infections are on the rise and have reached 1,444 in the last 30 days. A picture that is also worrying in light of the Delta variant of the SarsCoV2 virus, now dominant and with respect to which vaccines appear to lose their effectiveness slightly.
As for theextension of the third dose to the whole population, a prediction comes from Undersecretary for Health Andrea Costa: «It is not up to politics to decide who and when to administer it, we await scientific indications. To date we have indications that tell us to proceed with the Over 60, in addition to the other categories indicated, but afterwards I think it is reasonable to think that already by the end of the year we will proceed to the extension of the audience and it will probably come to give the third to the whole audience of vaccinables “. The question of the use of the Green Pass also remains central and in this regard Costa has clarified that 105 million have already been downloaded and that when the 90% vaccinated quota is reached, the restrictive measures will be reviewed, including the application of the green card.
