In summer or in autumn?
“Let’s say more fall than summer.”
V-day has arrived, but the emergency commissioner seems to fear a “free all” and keeps enthusiasm at bay: “The lower the level of responsibility, the greater the risk of a resurgence. We have to get the message across that vaccination has started, but it still takes a lot of time, responsibility and patience to have an impact on the circulation of the virus.
What is the value of this December 27?
«It is a symbolic and exciting day. If someone had said in September that we would be leaving in December they would have taken him for a visionary and I will tell those who accused us of marketing ”.
METERtheions of citizens wonder when it will be their turn. When will a 60-year-old get vaccinated?
“In summer. It starts with the most exposed, doctors, nurses, the elderly and RSA operators. Making hospitals Covid-free places will be very important and RSAs will no longer be terrible outbreaks. Then it will fall to the elderly, in decreasing order old “.
What is the calendar?
«On December 30 we will start with 450,000 doses. In the first quarter of 2021, we will have injected 9 million doses between Pfizer and Moderna. In the second quarter we should have 13 million doses from these two companies, then we could receive tens of millions more during the year from Astrazeneca and Johnson & Johnson, which we hope will conclude the trial and can be approved. There are also CureVac and Sanofi, which is a year late and plans to give the first doses in early 2022. The sum of these six companies makes 202 million, if all goes well we can vaccinate 101 million people.
Why so late? And when will we achieve herd immunity?
“When around 80% have been vaccinated. Those who get vaccinated today are not immune, they have to wait three weeks for the second dose and another week for immunity. I would like to be clear about the times, we do not decide them. All European countries depend on EMA authorizations, we are all going at the same pace. Everything works if the EMA approves the vaccines of the six companies that the EU has chosen and of which Italy is entitled to 13.5% of the doses. So far, only Pfizer has been licensed. We hope that on January 6 the authorization for Moderna will be in Befana’s sock ».
Germany had 150,000 doses and we 9,750?
“The number of symbolic doses to go out all together on December 27 is proportional to the population, Germany from the EU has had the same doses or a little more.”
But the United States will distribute about eight million this week. Is Europe fighting?
“The market that American companies serve the most is obviously the national one. And Europe gives a great signal of centrality because all the EU countries make their first administration on the same day.
Isn’t the lack of trained professionals to carry out administrative procedures a big problem?
“We made a call to ask 15,000 nurses, graduate doctors, graduate students, freelancers and retirees for a hand, and in ten days 20,000 responded. We are satisfied and I am not worried about the training, two days ago we started a module at the Higher Institute of Health and it went very well ».
What can jam an organizing machine that includes airplanes, helicopters, automobiles, and the military?
“Meanwhile we have a plan and we left the same day, some doubted it. We have prepared on time and will not store a single dose in our warehouses for another minute. It is the largest mass vaccination campaign in history and I am confident in the efficiency of local health facilities. We have a duty to deliver the vaccines as soon as possible and the regions to receive them as soon as possible, as I am sure they will.
Will deniers affect vaccination?
“We will carry out an exciting communication campaign to persuade Italians that getting vaccinated is taking care of yourself and your loved ones. Directors, conductors and writers who love their country will participate ».
