Popis: Issue At the end of December 2020 in Italy was started anti-covid vaccination campaign. For this purpose in the territory of Local Health Authority Rome 4, vaccination Hubs have been set up, one per each of four territory districts. The Hubs were large, never available previously, with routes suitable for welcoming and vaccinating a large number of people. Vaccination Service (SV) has organized anti-covid vaccinations with every day open Hubs, for 12 hours a day and more, without stopping, reaching very high vaccination coverage, but adherence to vaccinations into the calendar for 0-16 years further decreased during the pandemic period, particularly in adolescence. Description of the problem At the end of January covid vaccination requests decreased and SV realized a vaccination line dedicated to other vaccinations in each Hub so SV decided to invite the cohort of those born in 2010 that defaulted with the vaccination against human papilloma virus (HPV) and other mandatory/recommended vaccines. Results There were 2629 non-compliant adolescents (83% of resident population in 28 company territory municipalities). 2,353 phone calls were made and 232 smart-sms were sent (very recent method). They booked 598 children, who were vaccinated in just 3 days from 8.30 to 12.30 between February and March 2022. Total vaccines performed were 678: HPV9 389; meningococcal (ACWY and B) 278; 11 other. About 38 teenagers vaccinated every hour Lessons The way we used to contact resident population was innovative, easy and quick, necessary features to complete the intervention in a short time. This confirmed the importance in recruiting and adhering to vaccinations and leds to a driving effect also in the following days. Hubs as capacious and familiar places for the population, have allowed an excellent organization with a fast vaccination course, facilitated reception, resources optimization of health personnel. Key messages • To achieve vaccine prevention goals it is important to take advantage of available opportunities. • It is very important to apply the experience gained with the Covid vaccination to non covid vaccinations as well.
