The vaccination campaign against Covid began today in all EU countries, with the exception of the rupture of Hungary and Slovakia that began yesterday in anticipation of the members of the European Community and Germany who vaccinated, again yesterday as a symbol, a old woman. 101 years old.
The doses delivered to the different nations, however, were not the same for all and the number of those received by Italy, one of the countries most affected in the world by deaths as a proportion of the population, has sparked some controversy.
In Italy, at the moment, 9,750 doses have arrived but the Ministry of Health has specified that the effective distribution, as of December 28, after this first tasting, foresees about 470 thousand weekly doses. But the German Health Minister, Jens spahn, spoke of other figures, much more consistent: a first load of 151,125 doses, arrived on December 26. Three other shipments, totaling 1.9 million doses, are expected to arrive on December 28 and 30 and during the first week of January.
The doses must be proportional to the population: Italy has around 60 million inhabitants and Germany more than 83, but this should apply at a general level, that is, over the total of the 300 million doses ordered by the EU to Biontech- Pfizer: not in the first few doses. .
