Zaia-Palù-Russo press conference
Today’s live broadcast (scheduled to start at 12.30) by Veneto President Luca Zaia is with Professor Giorgio Palù, President of Aifa (Italian Medicines Agency), and with Dr. Francesca Russo, of the Regional Health Department and prevention. They talk about data on infections, but above all about the recently approved vaccine-anticovid campaign plan.
AND GIVE
In the last 24 hours, almost 50,000 swabs, with 3,357 positives (6.74% swabs). 381 hospitalized in intensive care (+2), 2288 (-19 in non-critical area).
The total of deaths amounts to 5,747, another 116 deaths.
PALU SPEAKS: THIS IS HOW THE ANTICOILIFE VACCINE WORKS
Giorgio Palù, president of Aifa, the drug agency. «It should not be done infodemia, to give certainty and not to create alarms. In Italy there are virologists who have fallen in love with the leading role, like my friend Galli. In Italy there is no sure way to provide scientific information and everyone talks: in the United States only Fauci speaks, in Great Britain the same. They have all spoken to us. There is no democracy in science. Virology is the discipline that has had the most Nobel laureates, hearing it demeaned by certain statements was a great disappointment for me. It cannot be credited if it has never published studies in certain journals ».
«We owe the vaccinations increased life expectancy. The half-life went from 55 to 80 years. We have domesticated viruses, today we have genetic virology. Never in history has a vaccine been found in ten months, but the phases were not skipped. Even with Ebola, it took us “only” two years. The times were shortened because after 40,000 subjects the results were verified. Early data from Moderna tells us that they also prevent infections, not just diseases. The same goes for Pfizer vaccines. “
«Reactions to the vaccine? This vaccine produces higher than average headaches or febrile episodes. No lethal effects were found. The risks are for hyperallergic subjects, especially in the second dose “
“I have demanded that there be genetic monitoring of the virus. There English variant there are people who have never been to England, a colleague from Marche told me. What I can tell you is that the vaccine, tested in England, also works with that variant. The first data collected also tells us this, but for now there is no biological study. There has been excessive alarm in the English variant. ‘
“Mortality is destined to decrease: it has occurred in all viruses, at the moment that of the coronavirus is between 0.25 and 0.5%. We will understand our destiny in April. This virus has affected a lot because all the populations were discovered ».
THE VACCINE ANTICOVIDA: HOW IT WORKS IN VENETO
Francesca Russo: «We have to manage the vaccine as soon as possible, ensure that it is stored and distributed safely, ensure the collection of data on all administered vaccines, verify the safety and efficacy of vaccines, train health professionals and organize an information campaign “
«They will arrive on Sunday 875 doses for the Veneto region and we have identified the operators: the first part of the campaign is aimed at healthcare workers regardless of their professional training, with priority to those who are on the front line against covid. Then there will be the elderly in nursing homes and frail patients. Then the rest of the population starting with the oldest. Vaccination will be available. The dates depend on the indications of the Ministry.
Be one doctor for every 5 vaccination units, made up of an operator who vaccinates and another who collects consent. There will be a triage at the entrance, it will remain 15 minutes after the vaccination in another environment. Almost 3,000 people can be vaccinated in two 7-hour shifts. The second dose is done after 21 days.. The indication is to vaccinate those over 16 years of age.
Staff membership is 90%
I hope that in April most of the fragile subjects will be vaccinated. Meanwhile, we have the Pfizer vaccine, then there will be one from Moderna. The vaccine can also be done at home.
SPEAK FLOWER
Luciano Flor, new General Director of Health of the Veneto Region: «Thank you for your trust in the Veneto region. It is a very difficult time for everyone, you have to be careful, the virus is circulating “
“We are making the maximum effort to attend to the sick and we continue looking for personnel, trying to safeguard the activities that we already have.”
ASYMPTOMATIC AND DATA
Dr. Russo: “85.6% of the asymptomatic in Veneto, we have always sent them regularly to the ministry, there was a data loading problem that lasted a few days, but it recovered immediately.”
