Supply difficulties in Cuneo
The regional vaccination campaign began on October 14, but general practitioners are encountering persistent hurdles due to the lack of standard doses designated for a broad population segment, according to Fimmg Cuneo.
«Non si può chiedere ai cittadini di vaccinarsi e poi lasciare i medici senza vaccini. Le conseguenze delle difficoltà organizzative non possono ricadere sui professionisti e sui pazienti», stated the representatives of Fimmg Cuneo, the general practitioner trade union.
Regional supply adjustments
Regional directives initially designated enhanced vaccines for individuals over 75, leaving standard doses for younger cohorts.
Regione Piemonte said that no blockade exists in the regional vaccination campaign. Communication sent to general practitioners addressed the temporary unavailability of the standard vaccine used primarily for individuals aged 18 to 49, offering guidance on utilizing enhanced vaccines for those over 50 while preserving remaining standard doses for younger patients.
