Covid, Arcuri: “At the end of December, a symbolic path to vaccines, priority will be given to those over sixty years old”

“We won’t waste a minute” “If the pharmaceutical agencies in Italy and Europe respect the calendar, (vaccination will start) symbolically at the end of December. And massively at the beginning of January,” Arcuri explained in an interview with Corriere della Sera. “We won’t waste a minute,” he assured, “and we won’t keep a single dose in our warehouses. It would be intolerable.”

First the elderly, then workers at risk After the elderly, who were able to access the vaccine in the first quarter of 2021, “workers who perform essential services that put them at risk will also have to return to the second phase: police, schools, public transport and even prisons.” Then, Arcuri reassured logistics: “There are hubs, the equipment for the cold stores and the distribution system is ready to go.”
