They will be “202 million doses of the vaccine» anti-Covid those available from the first quarter of 2021; each dose, according to current knowledge “needs to be remembered and we don’t know how much immunity there is“This is one of the passages – writes Ansa citing” majority sources “- of the note on vaccine plan that the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza illustrated ai Majority group leader at Palazzo Chigi meeting, also in the presence of the Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte. A large number of doses, equivalent to 13.6%, which is the Italian share of purchases from Europe of the six “most promising” vaccines, of which 3 are already “in approval” and a fourth, that of Astrazeneca ” soon.
An impressive number of doses, we said, because – as a precaution – a number of doses greater than the population has been purchased. In this way, even if one of the vaccines that are part of the stock was less effective than the others, the other five would still be sufficient to vaccinate all citizens.
Pfizer’s anti-Covid vaccine will arrive “between January 23 and 26” and the doses “will go to the 300 identified points, which are directly the hospitals,” Speranza added during the meeting with the group leaders at Palazzo Chigi . The first to be vaccinated – according to AdnKronos – should be the members of the “medical and health personnel and RSA” and then “those over eighty, then the 60-70 age group and later the other groups such as essential workers “. This category will also include school workers “
Speranza then explained how important it is to bend the infection curve to avoid a recurrence of cases in January: “Don’t make the third wave coincide with the vaccination campaign.” As reported by the majority sources, Speranza would have indicated the objective of not starting from the obligation in the vaccination campaign against Covid but from persuasion and information to achieve herd immunity with 40 million Italians.
Next, the Minister of Health indicated the places that could be used for vaccination: “Massive vaccinations against Covid will be carried out using large public spaces, gyms, open exhibition spaces.” Vaccine distribution will be entirely state-owned: management will be centralized and the vaccine will be distributed in accordance with medical and scientific decisions.
