The freshwater environment is suitable for nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTMs) growth. Their high adaptability represents a considerable risk for sanitary water systems, which are a potential vector for NTMs transmission. This study investigated the occurrence of NTMs, such as , in hospital water systems to support the surveillance and control of potentially pathogenic NTMs.

- In Italy, individuals turning 65 are recommended to receive free vaccinations for Herpes Zoster, pneumococcal disease, and influenza each year, but achieving high vaccination rates is difficult.
- A study in Forlì, Northern Italy, analyzed vaccination coverage for these diseases, evaluating how factors like altitude, urban planning, and the presence of vaccination centers affect vaccine uptake among 15,272 individuals.
- Results showed low vaccination rates (26.9% for HZ, 36.7% for PCV, and 43.5% for FLU), indicating that living in flat areas and having nearby vaccination services significantly increased uptake, highlighting the need for local health authorities to consider geographic and accessibility factors in their campaigns

A network of 10 diagnostic units within RER was established, and TL cases diagnosed in RER from 2017 to 2020 were evaluated.
