Open day, open day for the vaccine: where it can be done

The forerunner region was the Basilicata who already organized an open day a week ago. It was born out of a necessity: to dispose of the accumulated doses of AstraZeneca serum that part of the population did not want. They are days or nights dedicated to the administration of the vaccine, without reservation and, in some cases even without age limits.

With a formula that smacks of a mall open day is the open day of the vaccine. Whoever arrives first stays better. In this case, who comes first, gives the injection first.

These days serve not to accumulate doses of those vaccines that a part of the population refuses, despite the reassurances, and also to increase the number of immunized people.

Basilicata and Abruzzo they did it already in April. At the beginning of May, 2,500 people aged 18 and over were vaccinated a Marcianise, in the province of Caserta. For the most part, it was under 30 who showed up.

The open day went so well Lazio last weekend (20 thousand inoculated doses to over 40s) that the region is ready to repeat the operation also in the next weekend and in the following ones. The vaccine is AstraZeneca which is recommended above 60 years, but not prohibited below this threshold and therefore usable. The Councilor for Health of the Region Alessio D’Amato, guest of What day is it its Rai Radio1, announced a probable open day on 2 June, dedicated to young people who have to complete their high school diploma.

The Sardinia should start next weekend. Among the regions it is one of those with the greatest delay for doses administered compared to those received. TO Caserta, in Campania, the Local Health Authority of Caserta has also decided to launch a Moderna Day, for Wednesday 19 May. He had already done the free AstraDay. In this case, however, you must be at least 65 years of age and reside in the municipalities of the ASL Caserta.

The region Tuscany is working to organize open days with free access without reservation for the seventies, a range that is not yet adequately covered. In Sicily are ready for new open days, but made only with AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson vaccines.

If in the first few days you showed up and lined up, now there are booking systems. In Lazio it is called a virtual ticket. The days are accessed through a reservation made through the app reported on the region’s website. Vaccination outside the region of residence is only possible for the population domiciled elsewhere for reasons of work, study, necessity, family assistance. Even for an open day these rules should apply. The vaccine outside the region is difficult even for the second dose. Many governors and mayors have expressed concern about this possibility for the summer.
