64% of Covid ICU patients are unvaccinated, which is even more relevant in light of the fact that almost 90% of the over 12 population has completed the vaccination course, while more than 90% has received at least one dose.
"A consolidated data that comforts the efficacy of the vaccine in protecting against severe forms of Covid disease", highlights the Italian Federation of Healthcare and Hospitals (Fiaso) on the sentinel hospital network.
Among the vaccinated who ended up in Covid intensive care, Fiaso also notes, "almost all, 88%, suffer from serious comorbidities. 61% of the cases are people who had been vaccinated for over 4 months and not they still had the third dose. "
PEDIATRIC ADMISSIONS - The number of under-18 pediatric hospitalizations monitored in the 4 pediatric hospitals and pediatric wards of sentinel hospitals that adhere to the Fiaso network remains stable at 124, compared to 125 last week.
Infants 0-6 months make up 18% of the total and 54% of them have both parents vaccinated, while 18% have only their father vaccinated and 23% have no parents vaccinated. Almost 1 in 2 newborns, therefore, has at least one of the parents not vaccinated.
Overall, of the 124 hospitalized patients, seven are in intensive care, and 9 patients have Pediatric Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS-C).
