The first person to receive the Vaccine for COVID-19 in Italy she will be a woman and, as we learn, a nurse from the National Institute of Infectious Diseases, Lazzaro Spallanzani. The news had already leaked in recent days and today it was confirmed by sources from Spallanzani and the Lazio Region. However, the woman’s name has yet to be revealed. The nurse will receive the first dose of the Pfizer-BionTech vaccine approved yesterday by the European Medicines Agency. The trucks that will arrive in all the countries of the continent will leave or will have left Pfizer’s Belgian headquarters and Sunday December 27 is the date chosen for the simultaneous start of the vaccination campaign in all EU states. As mentioned, in Italy the first to be vaccinated will be Spallanzani’s nurse, but it is unclear who and how many more people will be injected with the first dose of the vaccine, again on December 27. On January 6, the EMA was also able to approve the second vaccine, Moderna’s, which has already been licensed in the United States. The Italian Medicines Agency will have to complete the last organizational and authorization steps of the Pfizer vaccine, then the vaccination campaign can officially begin and in the coming weeks the first doses will be injected to doctors, nurses, staff and guests of the Italian RSA.
Specifically, the Directorate of the Spallanzani Institute announced that on December 27 “the first five anti-COVID vaccines will be administered to the largest number of Institute employees and precisely: a nurse, a health social worker (OSS), a researcher and two doctors. ” “.
The first doses of the vaccine in Lazio
Commissioner Arcuri has announced that 1,833,975 doses of vaccine will arrive in Italy and that mass vaccinations will begin immediately afterwards. Almost 180,000 vaccines will arrive in Lazio, which will be the first doses for the same number of people (since the second dose load should arrive soon). The regional councilor of Health D’Amato said that this first expedition will serve to vaccinate the more than 18 thousand guests of the RSA and all health personnel (which includes doctors, nurses, family doctors, pediatricians and pharmacists), made up of 168 thousand units. D’Amato himself had already confirmed in recent days that the first to receive the dose of the vaccine would be a nurse, as has already happened in New York.
