Vaccines with doses of AstraZeneca are distributed by almost all of them Italy and the percentage of cancelled it was very close to that “physiological“, That is the one that was recorded even before the English serum blockade: between 5 and 10% of the reserved gave flat rate. “In some Regions the cancellation of reservations was twenty%, in others 10% and in others there was not yet. So the differential is practically zero“Explained the commissioner for the Covid emergency, General Francesco Figliuolo, speaking from the Cecchignola in Rome, where together with the head of civil protection, Fabrizio Curcio received the first dose of AstraZeneca. “We had one to delay with AstraZeneca suspension for 4 days but since yesterday we are recovering – added Figliuolo – and now there will be one strong acceleration“But that” now “means in a month, or from the third week of April, when “the doses of the vaccine Johnson and Johnson will arrive in Italy. “From that moment, the commissioner explained,” the fixed objective is the administration of 500 thousand doses per day. “The drug J&J has already received the EMA green light and the first deliveries were expected from the second quarter, therefore since the beginning of April. However, as with the other vaccines, the company had problems with the production of the doses. TO Already seen that it is probable that decelerate again the immunization campaign. For now, the final goal remains the one set by the former commissioner at the time. Domenico Arcuri: “Arrive all’80% of the population to be vaccinated by end of septemberFigliuolo explained.
The fight to accelerate the dose delivery it also continues at the European level. “Please respect your contract with Europe before starting to deliver in other countries ”, is the message that the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen sent today to AstraZeneca. After the green light of the EMA, which established that the vaccine “is safe”, the crux of the doses that the Anglo-Swedish multinational puts to arrangement of the EU states. And von der Leyen announced what contromisura from Brussels if supplies continue to be very slow: “We have the opportunity to prohibit export planned, ”he explained in an interview with the German media group Funke. The president of the Commission in recent days had rekindled the confrontation between European Union me UK, speaking of vaccine dose exported from the EU to other countries without reciprocity. Among these is precisely the Britain that, despite producing the vaccine AstraZeneca, has not yet assured the shipment of vials to the mainland. The fact is that in the second quarter the multinational “will deliver toEU 70 million doses compared to the 180 million that it had contractually agreed to supply ”.
The possibility of to take advantage of vaccines to companies that do not respect deliveries, therefore, it is a tool on the table of the Commission, as confirmed by the vice president Frans Timmermans: “If we are forced to do it, we will. It would be our right, but my colleague’s job Thierry breton it’s going very well and I see a change by the industry, so I don’t think it’s necessary. No, we will do it“He explained to The Republic. Timmermans then commented on the current moment of the vaccination campaign: “In situations of absolute crisis like the current one, they are committed everywhere mistakes and there is always room to learn and to get better. Now, the top priority is getting vaccines to arrive faster. Later we will analyze what happened ”. Regarding AstraZeneca, the vice president added: “If they do not respect the commitments established in the contract we have to act. Europe exports more than anyone else in the world, but we ask reciprocity ed Balance: those who produce vaccines must also export them, not just carry ours ”.
The doses arriving in Italy
If the administrations are restarted, the unknown returns to worry the supplies: this week the delivery has slipped. According toAnsa, the arrival of 134mila dosi of the vaccine scheduled last Thursday was canceled by logistical reasons, due to the preventive suspension of the administration, but the lack of charge will not affect the vaccination campaign. With the restart of Oxford vaccine inoculations, the cargo will arrive retrieved on March 24 and will be added to the others 145 thousand doses still scheduled for that day: so they will be delivered at all 279 thousand doses. The arrival of 344 thousand doses of the vaccine Modern at the Pratica di Mare military center: the vials will then be distributed to the vaccination centers in the different regions. This is so far larger individual load provided by Moderna.
The four-day lockdown is estimated to have made skip about 200 thousand administrations throughout Italy which, according to the government, will recover in a couple of weeks by extending the vaccination schedule. Instead, Regions, some of which will resume in the next few hours or even Monday, will decide whether to enter who was booked. between March 16 and 18 among those on the list in the next two weeks or if climb forward four days all reservations. The truth, as the president of the Higher Health Council said, Franco Locatelli, is that those who today refuse to be vaccinated with Astrazeneca will be reinstated “for the end“.
In many centers, in any case, already on Friday as it also happened in the last days before the blockade, many citizens attended queued expecting to receive an “advanced” dose. The procedure, however, as Figliuolo indicates is different: the “reservists” go anyway identified among those who are It’s already reserved for the following days always within the categories indicated by the plan. If vaccination centers are aware of the possibility of residual doses, a report will be sent to Italian mail that will send a SMS summon the subjects.
