«As Councilor Giulio Gallera says today in Lombardy many category citizens cannot get a flu shot for free. They are the priority people in terms of fragility to whom the Lombardy region had “recommended” to be vaccinated with a circular of October 8, 2020, in which it put on paper a precise calendar also for the delivery of vaccines as of October 19 October and ending. mid-November. “
So, Emilio Didoné, Secretary General of Fnp Cisl Lombardia. The retired unions already in July had warned the Region about the importance and sensitivity of this vaccination campaign in the Covid period, “but this time they have not listened to us either. In this sense, Councilor Giulio Gallera continued to repeat from the rooftops that everything was in order, except yesterday to declare that the delays are due to a national problem.
Meanwhile, there are vaccination centers that cannot attend reservations and general practitioners, who have joined the campaign, who do not have enough vaccines, and will not be able to reserve more doses of vaccine before November 18 to have them available after November 20.
“Councilor Gallera – Didonè insists -: if you order vaccines in October, offering up to five times the market price and ten purchase tenders were needed, many of which were deserted, perhaps there was some mess in an Office in the Lombardy region In Emilia Romagna, Lazio, Veneto, but also in Puglia and Sicily, these problems do not exist, in Lombardy they do! “
Lombardy has held ten competitions for flu vaccines, the last of which in October. And in general ordered, for a population of around 10 million people, just over 2 million doses that are not enough even for the 2,768,000 defined citizens
“Roof recommended and free additional”, with a coverage target of 75%. And we do not take into account the possibility that the vaccination request of Lombardy citizens may reach 95%, considering the optimal coverage at an international scientific level ”.
Some important private health establishments in the city of Milan publish notices on their websites that announce the possibility of getting vaccinated for a fee ranging from 50 to 70 euros, more than three times compared to last year.
“In this sense, I would also add that major banks have vaccinated all their staff for free. In short, even a private bank finds 50,000 vaccines on the market overnight, but the Lombardy Region cannot guarantee vaccines to its citizens, who are obliged in many cases to contact the private sector and pay for non-responses in the last days. .
Obviously something has not worked, so much so that some family doctors, overwhelmed by hundreds of requests, do not respond and have hung posters in their studies that say: thanks to the inability of the Lombardy Region to provide us with the doses of vaccines, no we can to respond to your requests and not even schedule the vaccination».
«President Fontana and Councilor Gallera – Didonè concluded -, health is a serious matter and too much time has been wasted on talks. Take on your responsibilities and don’t waste any more time. This year it is important that many get vaccinated, especially the elderly and the frail, our health and the health of the healthcare system are at stake! ».
