Covid vaccine, that’s why the army (and not Pfizer) will distribute the first doses to the regions before December 27.

There is a change of plans in the initial stage of the Vaccination plan prepared by the Emergency Commissioner Domenico Arcuri. The agreement concluded with Pfizer-Biontech provided only the pharmaceutical giant took care of the delivery in 300 management points identified in the national territory, but for the 9,750 doses arriving between Christmas and San Esteban will not be like that. To allow Italy to participate in the European V-day programmed for December 27, this section of roads will be distributed to the Regions byItalian army with an “emergency” intervention, as announced by the IOC commander Luciano Portolano. Sources from the Arcuri staff let a Ilfattoquotidiano.it that the vaccination plan has not changed, but since very tight deadlines from now until the date of V-day, it is the only way to guarantee a All regions have the planned doses at the same time.

Why don’t we move in early? It was the decision ofEuropean Medicines Agency to speed it up ahead to the Pfizer vaccine: initially the date to mark on the calendar was that of December 29, but last week the leaders of the EU Agency announced that they can now give their approval December 21, as it really happened. The Immunization Plan of the Emergency Commissioner, on the other hand, presented to Parliament by the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza earlier in the month, it was developed with the first roadmap in mind. The problem therefore does not seem to affect the notices announced by Commissioner Arcuri: those of needles, the syringes and the diluent of the vaccine have already been assigned and the first deliveries are expected by the end of the year, while for the identification of employment agencies who will hire doctors and nurses for the vaccination campaign will close on December 28 Fatto.it, therefore, it is a logistics problemdictated by the times and also by Pfizer’s difficulties in delivering the first doses to all EU countries at the locations indicated by each government. Excluding the hypothesis that the alarmInterpol on the risk of attacks on shipments of anti-Covid vaccines.

To clarify that the army will only be involved “in relation to this activity”From the day of the vaccination with Pfizer and, at the latest, also Defense Staff. “The Armed Forces will provide the requested contribution, taking the doses of vaccines to distribute them in all the other Regions and allow the whole country to participate in the European Vaccine Day on December 27 ”, reads a note. They will be used for the operation. dozens of military trucks, the same models seen for bergamo streets in the most difficult moments of the Covid emergency in Italy. The trucks will be mobilized as of December 24 and will be used mainly to transport the vaccine to the 21 sites located in the autonomous regions and provinces. However, as of January 4, as anticipated by a Daily fact the president of the Superior Council of Health Franco Locatelli, the vaccination campaign itself will begin and Pfizer-Biontech will be in charge of the distribution of the doses in the 300 administration points throughout Italy, in order to guarantee the “Super cold”Thanks to the technologies at your disposal. According to the Arcuri Plan, the military will return to the game only with the other vaccines, such as Moderna and AstraZeneca, which will be stored at the military airport in Pratica di Mare.
