Five priority categories, defense conduits converted from buffer areas to vaccine administration facilities: the national mass immunization plan takes shape. Yesterday it was presented to the Conference of the Regions and, between today and tomorrow, it will be officially illustrated by the extraordinary commissioner, general Francesco Paolo Figliuolo, and by the head of Civil Protection Francesco Curcio. But in trying to run as fast as possible to counter the growing epidemic, a new problem has come in the way of the vaccination campaign: the AstraZeneca problem. Within days, three people died in Italy after receiving the Anglo-Swedish vaccine: Stefano Paternò, Villa Davide me Giuseppe Maniscalco, all the inhabitants of Sicily.

The Syracuse prosecutor’s office has opened an investigation and the Nas of the carabinieri has seized the batch of vials “accused” with the code ABV2856 throughout Italy. The Carabinieri de Nas de Naples went to the pavilions of the Mostra d’Oltremare, where the vaccination center against the Sars-Cov-2 virus was installed to seize a batch of vaccines belonging to batch ABV2856 blocked by Aifa, l ‘Agency of Italian drugs. A decision – they explain – came after the report of some “serious adverse events”, registered not only in our country, but was taken as a precaution: that is, there is no evidence that the vaccine has caused the reported consequences, in circulatory problems particular attributable to thrombosis, because at this time – states theMedicines Agency – These are reports linked to “temporal concomitance”. And it is the same statement from the Nas military that speaks clearly: “The kidnapping activity, for which there is currently no direct correlation with the reported death cases, is carried out as a precaution to proceed with the appropriate clinical analyzes to refute the danger of drugs “.
In the meantime, however, the health authorities of Denmark, Norway and Iceland, Estonia, Lithuania, Luxembourg and Latvia have also suspended the use of AstraZeneca as a precautionary measure.. After blocking the “infringing” batch and sending the Nas to seize it in all the Italian regions where it was delivered, Italy has established telephone numbers in some vaccination centers to know the adverse reactions. Meanwhile, panic breaks out among those on the list to receive the Anglo-Swedish vaccine: teachers in a chat call for the administration to be stopped, as does the police union Consap, which calls for the administration to be suspended while it is secured. cause of death. In March, meanwhile, the multinational promised to give Italy 4 million doses (700,000 have already arrived), while almost a million would remain in the refrigerators to be used. And between the vaccines that do not arrive and the vaccines that are blocked, the mass immunization plan is still being tried to push forward. In the 14 pages of the draft delivered yesterday to governors and mayors, there arises above all the desire to try to bring order to the anarchy of the Regions, to establish rules that apply to all. The document identifies as priority categories of the first phase of the campaign, health and social-health workers, staff and guests of residential facilities for the elderly, those over 80 years old, people between 60 and 79 years old, the population with at least one “comorbidity”. (two or more diseases) chronic. The following categories of population to be vaccinated are also indicated, after increasing the doses of available vaccines: teachers, school personnel, police, prison personnel and community places. In line with what has been done so far. An “against cunning” clause was also included in the draft: essential workers were eliminated as a priority category.
After people most at risk due to disability and chronic diseases, we will proceed by age group. The plan explains that “the recommendations on the target groups to offer vaccination will be subject to change and will be updated according to the evolution of knowledge and available information.” The regions, often accused in recent weeks, do not appear to have raised any particular objections, even if before the summit the President of Liguria Giovanni toti he used harsh words. “If we want to defeat Covid with cannon fire, perhaps the Army will be useful,” he said, “but if we have to administer vaccines we need people who know how to mix and inject them,” invoking a framework law to authorize many more subjects. than the current ones to vaccinate.
