A work in which the detail makes the difference, in which you run on the razor’s edge. Open the boxes with the vaccine dose, divide, count and repackage them. All considering that those vials must be at 70 degrees below zero. On Saint Stephen’s Day, when the Pfizer Biontech trucks arrived in Rome, at Spallanzani, the operation of a specialized group of pharmacists from the Capitolino hospital was immediately triggered. The objective was to divide the 9,750 doses of newly delivered vaccines into individual packages to send to the Regions, with different quotas among themselves. Only then did the packages leave to reach the entire national territory, thanks to the work of the Armed Forces, from the Army to the Air Force. Everything is ready for Vaccine Day underway today, December 27, across Europe.
It’s all a matter of time, timed by an army pharmaceutical lieutenant: a maximum of three minutes available to pack the boxes to be sent to the Regions, then they had to be quickly returned to the refrigerators at -70 °. All of this was possible thanks to the meticulous work of two pharmacists, Giovanni Zaccaro and Aldo De Luca, a manager of the technical health professions, Carmine Ciaralli, and a pharmacy manager, Silvia Murachelli. “A very delicate teamwork due to the different amounts to be sent to each Region.“Ciaralli explained. For example, in Lombardy, he rebuilds Il Sole 24 Ore, seven and a half boxes had to arrive, with 49 bottles each. And after the first packaging, the boxes are inserted into the cryogenic boxes, which guarantee low temperatures throughout the duration of transportation to the Regions.
The procedure is still difficult even when doses reach hospitals: vials need to be thawed slowly, three hours in refrigerators between 2-8 degrees or twelve hours at room temperature, then they can be administered within five days. However, before injection, the vial should be slowly inverted ten times, without shaking, and diluted with sodium chloride, a saline solution. There are 5 doses of vaccine contained in each vial.
