Asp di Catania expands walk-in pediatric vaccination access

The Asp di Catania has expanded its walk-in vaccination services for children in response to an increase in requests from families seeking to verify vaccination status and access immunizations. Following recent news events in Sicily that highlighted the importance of infectious disease prevention, the Department of Prevention is facilitating easier access to healthcare.

In addition to the existing walk-in policy for infants receiving their first vaccinations and children born in 2024, the service is now extended to children born in 2025. While walk-ins are permitted to ensure adherence to the vaccination calendar, health officials still recommend making appointments to improve service organization and speed up the process. The health service emphasizes that these vaccinations are effective, safe, and free of charge.
