On the Portal of the Region it appears in fact from today the reservation availability for those born between 1942 and 1951. «Reservations can start, but what matters is to make them.

The 70-74 age range covers an audience of 546.312 people in Lombardy, which adding to that of the 75-79-year-olds already in the process of booking since 2 April, 449,862, brings the potential catchment area ready to book for the anti-Covid administration to almost a million Lombards: 996.174.

Another theme: vaccinations in companies in Lombardy (over 1300 have applied to the Region). They will leave only after administering to the over 60s, Fontana confirmed. “We have reached an agreement with many representative associations and we are ready to start this phase when the government gives us the green light – said the governor -. This will happen when we have covered all those sections of the population that are most at risk, that is, all those who are over 60 years old. Then we can start targeted vaccination for economic activities ».
