She is 29 years old, Roman, and works in the Spallanzani infectious diseases department, but in these emergency months Covid has also treated many elderly people at home. Claudia Alivernini is the name of the first nurse who will be vaccinated at the Lazzaro Spallanzani National Institute of Infectious Diseases, on the occasion of V-Day on December 27.
The first vaccinated will be the Italian symbol of the fight against Covid. Following the green light from the Italian Medicines Agency (Aifa) for the commercialization of the Pfizer Biontech vaccine, 9,750 doses are now expected in Italy, which will arrive on December 26 to be immediately available the following day, December 27, for the day 5. -day, in which the vaccination campaign will begin throughout Europe. At the top of the list of administrations in Italy will be a young nurse, a health social worker working in Covid departments, a researcher and two doctors, all from the Spallanzani Institute in Rome and all immediately on the front line to face the pandemic emergency. . Looking ahead to next Sunday, there are procedures that are being developed to officially start the counteroffensive against the virus in our country.
The Defense will manage the logistics immediately. “At the request of Commissioner Domenico Arcuri we had to urgently plan the distribution of the Pfizer vaccine,” explains General Luciano Portolano, IOC commander, the Joint Chief of Operations, addressing the President of the Republic during the traditional end of the year greeting with the military. Thus, on the night of 25-26 after leaving Belgium, the pharmaceutical trucks, which contain the cold rooms with the first 9,750 vials at -75 degrees, will cross the Italian borders.
Since then they will be escorted by the carabinieri to the Spallanzani hospital in Rome, which will be used as the central hub for the occasion. Here the vaccines will be divided into twenty packages, one for each region. At this point, the Armed Forces will enter the field and, with their own means, will distribute the doses throughout Italy to allow “the entire country – states the Defense General Staff – to participate in the European Vaccine Day on 27 December”. From the capital, if the route is within 300 kilometers, the vaccine will be transported with various vehicles of the armed forces, including light vehicles and trucks for tactical logistical use, the same models seen on the streets of Bergamo at the most difficult of the Covid emergency in Italy. However, for all other more distant regions, the vaccines will be stored in the central axis of Pratica di Mare and from there the stocks will be loaded onto helicopters or planes to reach the various destinations (the first 21 national sites). The transfers will involve the men of the Armed Forces throughout the day and night of the 26th, so that all the doses reach the centers where they will be administered at 7 am on December 27th. On Sunday, with each team consisting of six people, doctors and trainees will vaccinate health personnel. To thank the Defense for the “precious and decisive role” in the “fundamental activities related to the management of the vaccination campaign” is the President of the Republic himself, Sergio Mattarella, who expressed “gratitude on behalf of the Republic to all members of the Armed Forces, to the military bodies of the State and their families. ”Defense Minister Lorenzo Guerini also said“ Grateful. ”On Sunday there will be only a limited group of health workers who will reach approximately one million workers in the category in January. Then it will go to the people of the RSA, in Lazio, starting next week. Later, populations at risk, the elderly or people with specific pathologies.
“It is still difficult, but now we have an extra weapon. Come on,” writes Health Minister Roberto Speranza in a post on Facebook after approval by the Italian Serum Medicines Agency Pfizer Biontech. The numbers augur well for the willingness of Italians to get vaccinated. The data of an investigation coordinated by the Istituto Superiore di Sanità – says President Silvio Brusaferro – show “an attitude of responsibility of Italians”: it emerged that two out of three people (67%) are willing to be vaccinated, the percentage increases between the elderly (84%). Younger people, aged 18 to 34, would be more willing to be vaccinated (76%) than those aged 50 to 69 years (67%) and those aged 35 to 49 (59%). Now everything is also entrusted to the vaccination campaign, with the five characters that symbolize this struggle: a nurse, two doctors, a researcher and an operator, the Italians in the trenches in these long months. The real influencers against the virus.
