One million seven hundred thousand doses already from the second half of January 2021. Republic announces the result of the videoconference meeting, which took place on October 29, between the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, and the highest representatives of Pfizer, who yesterday announced that they had a vaccine whose efficacy against Covid is 90%.
PLANNING AND SCHEDULE – The forecast – he says – is that the European Agency can examine the last phase of the trial and approve the drug between the end of December and the first half of January. From January 20 – this is the forecast, more day, less day – the government would begin with the immunization of all healthcare workers and most RSA guests. The army will cooperate in the transportation of materials and logistics planning. It will take “a few weeks” to complete this first phase, in which a commission established in the Ministry of Health is working confidentially.
FIRST DOSES – The supply contract is European. Speranza, together with the German health minister, intends to close the distribution pact between member states on Friday. Italy will almost certainly get 13.5% of the total for the first tranche. There are 3.4 million doses. Being a vaccine that requires two doses, it means covering around 1.7 million people. How to organize the largest large-scale vaccination operation in the history of mankind is the subject of the work of the commission established in the ministry.
