EU: 70% vaccinated in summer
The European Commission establishes the objectives of the vaccination campaign against covid in the communication adopted today by the College of Commissioners: Member States must speed up the administration of doses. By the summer of 2021, “70% of the entire adult population” should have been vaccinated, and by March “at least 80% of those over 80 and 80% of health workers” should have received the vaccine. . The objective seems “realistic”, according to parliamentary sources, given the imminent arrival of other vaccines on the EU market: in addition to those from Pfizer / BionTech and Moderna, the authorization of the Astrazeneca vaccine is expected at the end of the month, while
Janssen (J&J) is expected to follow in February.
Arcuri: important to have an Italian serum soon
Is increasingly critical of multinational pharmaceutical companies the special commissioner for the Covid-19 emergency, Domenico Arcuri, in taking stock of containment and fighting the epidemic. The issue continues to be the slowdown in supply: “If vaccination had continued at the rate it started, prophylaxis for over 80 years it would start everywhere. Unfortunately, and this was not possible to predict, we are faced with a lower availability of doses and this caused slowdowns for those who had not yet started ”. Hence the thesis: “Italy has shown that it is capable of vaccinating in absolutely satisfactory times and that is why I have no doubt that if our territories have the doses of vaccine we expect, this can continue. Plus hopes come from manufacturers that he did not win the first phase of the vaccine race. “We anticipate a delivery of 8 million doses of Astrazeneca in the first quarter of this year. They tell us that the company has already started to fill up ”. High hopes, and a Copernican change of propstective, could also come from the made in Italy product: “It will be very important if Reithera Italy will have a domestic vaccine, and if it will soon. I do everything to make this happen ”. Regarding the priorities among the topics to be presented to the campaign “at this moment – he said – it is expected that prisoners and prison staff can complete vaccination later than those over 80 years of age “.
Galli: opposed to vaccinating those who have had the virus
It has been said cI do not want to vaccinate people who have already had the infection., the chief doctor of the Sacco Massimo Galli, guest tonight of the Iceberg broadcast on Telelombardia. “We don’t have a shred of data that tells us it’s not necessary or appropriate at the moment. I would have silently queued them. Those who have had the disease and been vaccinated have had side effects (fever, swollen lymph nodes ) that the others in the vast majority have not had. ”Regarding the management of the vaccination campaign in Great Britain, Galli was very critical: “That the idea of making a single dose does not happen even in Italy, as it happened in England, because in my opinion this is one rude nonsense. We risk not being sufficiently protective and in situations that are not sufficiently protected, the virus stirs us up. “
Pfizer overdue: withdrawals at risk
Alarm in Lombardy for the delays in the delivery of Vaccines for COVID-19: between this week and next, they will arrive 45 thousand doses less compared to budgeted. Currently two Lombard hospitals, il Pope John XXIII of Bergamo and the Spedali Civili of Brescia ran out of serum. But they will get some from other hospitals. It is not yet clear what will happen in terms of supplies from the end of the month. From Palazzo Lombardia, however, they underline that for the moment, among the vaccinated Lombards, there is no one who needs the booster dose: the much discussed option of starting the vaccination campaign “only” on January 4, in the face of an exit anticipated. decided by other Regions, it is now proving providential, if it is true that 21 days must elapse between the first and second inoculation. Therefore, the calls will begin from January 25. But beware: delays in deliveries have forced the Region to change the vaccination schedule. Therefore, the end of the first phase of the campaign has been postponed from February 28 to March 11 with the consequence that the eighty-year-old and the chronically ill will have to wait longer than expected.
