Forward slowly. And with the unknown of who, how and when it will be put or will be on the vaccine list: for now, once the vaccination campaign has started, this remains a mystery. For the priority categories – health workers and RSA employees and guests – the immunization campaign continues but slowly, also thanks to the difference in the preparation of the different regions. At 6:39 p.m. yesterday (last update), 469,950 doses had arrived (plus the 9,750 ‘symbolic’ doses on December 27) and 35,850 had been administered: 31,716 to health and social-health personnel, 2,192 to non-health personnel and 1,924 to guests of nursing homes.

Forward slowly. And with the unknown of who, how and when it will be placed or may enter vaccine list: At the moment, once the vaccination campaign has started, this remains a mystery. For him priority categories – health workers and RSA employees and guests – the immunization campaign continues but slowly, also thanks to the difference in preparation of the various regions. As of yesterday afternoon at 6:39 p.m. (last update), 469,950 doses had arrived (plus the 9,750 ‘symbolic’ doses on December 27) and 35,850 had been administered: 31,716 to health and social-health personnel, 2,192 to non-health personnel and 1,924 to guests of nursing homes. The most virtuous region is Friuli-Venezia Giulia, which has already administered 16.3% of the available doses. They are followed by the province of Bolzano (16.2%), Lazio (15.7%) and Umbria with 13.6%. Piedmont ranks fifth with 12.4%, Veneto with 11%, Campania with 9.2%, Emilia-Romagna with 7.2%, Puglia with 6.2%, Marche with 5.6%, Tuscany with 5, 3%. Lastly, Sardinia with 1.6%. It should be noted that from January 27 to 1 in Germany 165,575 people were vaccinated (31,846 only on New Year’s Eve): 77,000 health workers and other elderly people in the RSA and hospital patients. Only in Bavaria 37,955 have been vaccinated, more than in the whole of Italy.

Ad hours the Italian vaccination targets, which point to immunize at the end of February 1 million 404 thousand health workers and 570 thousand guests and RSA staff are a mountain to climb. PfizerBioNTech will supply our country with 1,833,975 doses, at a rate of 250,490,000 per week, until January 24. Another 2,507,700 doses will arrive in the coming weeks, with an estimated end for February 28. They should be enough for the two doses of the two proprietary categories, but the difficult one comes later. Mainly because we do not know if we will have vaccines. The plan of the Ministry of Health foresees the availability of 8 million and 749 thousand doses of PfizerBioNTech for the first quarter of 2021, but this means that between the last week of February and the end of March the beauty of 4 million and 409 thousand doses should arrive. . And it is very complicated, if not unlikely to succeed. This would be serious given that those doses would be used for the immunization (first dose) of 4 million and 442,048 over 80 years of age and then move on to the second dose and vaccinate from April – with PfizerBioNTech, Moderna and perhaps AstraZeneca and “scattered doses “from Curevac and Johnson. e & Johnson: people aged 60 to 79 years (13.4 million) and 7.4 million with chronic diseases. To make it happen at the end of April, as Prime Minister Conte said at the year-end press conference, would be a miracle. Also because today it is not known how the lists will be physically drawn up and how people will be informed that they will be vaccinated.

Biontech: “More doses are needed, there is a gap because others are not approved”

“Everyone will know in time where and when to get the vaccine,” he reiterated. the extraordinary curator Domenico Arcuri December 23th. Okay, but it’s early January and the rosters are still in the works. Arcuri spoke of one major information campaign at the end of January, of a call center, a website and an app On which to make reservations and use the data of the health card to contact the elderly, with the help of family doctors. All very technological, omnipresent and interconnected, on paper. They are working on the advanced computer system. Post and Eni but it is not clear if it will be mandatory for regions to adhere to it or if they will be able to use its systems, as it seems. At the moment, Abruzzo, Marche, Umbria, Calabria, Liguria, Sicily have shown interest in the PosteEni computer system. Others may wait to see the “beta” version of the program and decide. Meanwhile, the pandemic continues on its own. Going a step further would not be a bad idea.
