The flight with all the doses to Veneto
The vaccines land in Villafranca (Pecora)
It is almost 11 at night when the C 27 J of the Italian Air Force lands on the runway of the Villafranca airport and roars towards the hangars of the Caluri base. It is a cold and clear afternoon. You can feel the anticipation and also the emotion between the soldiers of the Third Wing with Commander Giovanni Luongo, and the men of the army and the carabinieri who wait for the white and blue packages to be unloaded from the belly of the plane. Pfizer-Biontech vaccines for all Triveneto.
The men cross the track, enter the hangars where the vans of the Alpine troops from Bolzano and Trento, the Lagunari that will take the doses to Padua and the Secondo Stormo in Udine are parked. Not even when loading them into the vehicles that the C27 J lifts up in flight and disappears into the darkness of the sky heading “home”, Pisa, from where it left a few hours earlier. His first stop was Pratica di Mare (Pomezia, Rome). From there, at 9:00 p.m., he took a direct flight first to Milan Linate to supply the Northwest Regions (Lombardy, Piedmont, Liguria and Valle d’Aosta) and then to Villafranca for the last stopover in the Eastern Region.
From Caluri the snake of vehicles left the base and each truck, escorted by two carabinieri vehicles, reached its destination.
Today, at noon, at the Borgo Trento hospital and in Magalini de Villafranca, the first 200 Veronese volunteers will be vaccinated against Covid. Doctors, nurses, Oss involved in the first line to treat positive patients, operators and guests of the Rsa “ideal target” of the virus will voluntarily undergo prophylaxis. In 21 days, they will be calling.
There is no official anticipation of the names because today at the last moment any of the candidates could think about it again, so – they explain from the health companies – it is better to be cautious and let those who want to talk about it after the fact. Certainly among the first in line at the Integrated University Hospital there will be, they never made it a mystery the head of Covid Pulmonology Claudio Micheletto, closely followed by colleagues in close contact with the most seriously infected in wards in non-critical areas and in intensive care Professor Evelina Tacconelli (Infectious Diseases) to teachers Enrico Polati (Resuscitation) e Leonardo gottin (Anesthesia in Cardiac and Thoracic Surgery), by collaborators and by anyone who works in the room needs to protect themselves from the deadly infection.
