Lombardy slowly, Gallera: “I don’t call the doctors on vacation to get vaccinated”

Looking at the bottom of the ranking of the Regions by number of vaccinations, we find Lombardy, the most populated in Italy, which has only administered a small percentage of the 80 thousand Pfizer / BioNTech vaccines received. “This ranking gives chills” comments the Councilor for Wellbeing Giulio Gallera in an interview with the press, “for us we started on January 4. We started with 6,000 vaccines a day, then we will increase in number in the 65 centers of Lombard ”

“We have doctors and nurses who have 50 days of expired leave. I do not put them back into service for a vaccine on holidays – explains Gallera – But I assure everyone that we will do it on time, on time. Vaccination is a priority. And on January 17 we began with the reminders for those who have had a first administration ”.

Gallera assures that Lombardy is ready, “we have already found another 600 external sites, sports halls, civic centers … Only that the vaccines arrive, on time and correctly”, because “Pfizer has delivered zero vaccines in some hubs, in others they These are things that may be in this situation, but it forced us to remodel the deliveries. ”Citizens will know when to get vaccinated through the“ call center, the Region’s website, we are crossing the data between the tax code and the mobile phone to send a text message. And if necessary, we can also use the Immuni application to send a message. “
