After Lombardy, the highest number of doses went to Emilia Romagna (975), followed by Lazio (955), Piedmont (910) and Veneto (875), the region that is most in difficulty in this second phase.
The first vaccines and testimonials
Many regions have chosen a woman as a testimony to the campaign: nurses, health workers and doctors who have been on the front lines for months. In addition to Rome, it was like this for example in Trento, where the first vaccinated against the coronavirus was a nurse from the anesthesia and resuscitation unit of the Santa Chiara hospital; in Tuscany with a nurse from the Florentine hospital in Careggi; in Puglia: “I feel relieved, lucky, I hope to be an example for everyone,” said Dr. Lidia Dalfino, medical director of Covid resuscitation at the Bari Polyclinic, the first Covid vaccine in the region. The first elderly guest of an RSA from Apulia to be vaccinated against Covid was 94 years old.
“Those who have lived in their own skin and seen with their own eyes the dramatic extraordinary nature of this disease cannot and should not fear the product of science,” said Palermo Civic emergency room chief Massimo Geraci, the first doctor to be vaccinated in Sicily.
Getting vaccinated “for a nurse is a duty with citizens, with colleagues and also with the science in which we believe,” said Barbara Mangiacavalli, president of the National Federation of Nurses’ Orders (Fnopi) and social and health director of Asst Nord Milano, among the first to receive the anti-Covid vaccine.
Fontana: EU shows that it can be essential
It is “an important day also for the European Union” according to the president of Lombardy, Attilio Fontana (Lega). And it is important “because it is a day – he said in a short speech at the start ceremony of the anticovid vaccination campaign in Lombardy – in which he shows that if he works correctly, if he commits himself in the right way it can be something not only” . important but fundamental for the future of our country and of Europe itself. The first Lombard vaccine was Adele Gelfo, a health and social worker who has worked in Niguarda since 1991.
