Yesterday Britain topped an average of 750,000 vaccinations per day, a jump from the previous week of more than 240,000 vials per day. Italy struggles with less than a third of the administrations, the machine falters, although with different situations between Region and Region, between virtuous and laggards, and the offer is a race with which one always runs out of breath.
These are the critical issues that prompted Mario Draghi to summon the leaders of that architecture in the morning that, in his intentions, should give a decisive boost to the Italian machine. Two hours of meeting with the extraordinary emergency commissioner, General Paolo Figliuolo, and with the head of Civil Protection, Fabrizio Curcio. “The figures from the United Kingdom, only 17 deaths today, testify to us that the vaccine is the solution and that we have to take a step”, explain those who are working on the file.
The quota of 500 thousand administrations, where Figliuolo has set the bar, still seems very far away. “We will run out of stocks at the end of the month,” says Attilio Fontana in an attempt to fix the chaos that hit the reservation machine in Lombardy. The late delivery is a given, and Draghi wanted to make sure of the situation. By tomorrow, said the extraordinary commissioner, approximately one million doses of Pfizer will be delivered, ready to be classified in more than 200 health establishments. Delivery is concerned in the medium term, but in the meantime the government wants to make sure that all administration sites do not have to find themselves in the situation of sending home those that are reserved and in queue.
Difficult for the problem to arise without a strong acceleration in the administration. At the premier’s table the data for the individual regions have been arranged. In some things they move quickly, in others they limp. For this, Draghi also wanted to take stock with the Minister of Regional Affairs, Mariastella Gelmini, to understand what could be the solutions through which the government can help operations where they have become stuck.
A general recognition tour, which will be followed by some working hypotheses and a final decision in the coming days. Undoubtedly, at stake is a greater strengthening of the role of the army both in logistics and administration, and the specific working groups deployed by Civil Protection to reinforce the territories in difficulty.
Taking the government data updated at 3:31 on Monday, the doses that remain in the freezer are almost 1 in 5. The national average of administrations continues to be 82.4% of the total of those delivered. Matteo Salvini applauds Fontana’s decision, which requested that the top management of the regional healthcare company be reset to zero after the tilt in bookings that took place last weekend. “The percentage of those who have received a dose of those over 80 who have joined, about 600 thousand, far exceeds 50 percent, in line with what is happening in the rest of the country,” defended the Lombard president , underlining how last Saturday “120 thousand doses were injected throughout Italy on Saturday, of which 30 thousand only in Lombardy.”
The fact is that the regions that are below the national average are all administered by the League or by governors close to the Northern League. Lagging behind is the Sardinia of the independentista Michele Solinas, chosen thanks to the agreement with the green shirts, only 70.5% of the doses administered. He is not much better in Liguria than Giovanni Toti, a former force soldier and considered a “friend” by the headquarters in via Bellerio. The other 5 expired are managed by ligars: Calabria by Nino Spirlì (71.5%), Lombardía (78.3%), Veneto by Luca Zaia (80.1%), Umbría by Donatella Tesei (81.6%) and Friuli Venezia Giulia by Massimiliano Fedriga, which is closer to the global figure while remaining below (82%).
Draghi’s collaborators assure that the problem is not and will not be dealt with politically, because the objective is common and people’s health should not lend itself to speculation. But the figure does not go unnoticed in the government: “There is a problem and it is evident,” explains an executive. Who continues: “Faced with the controversial situation, it is useless to do them, but we cannot hide behind a finger.” A commotion that barely touches Draghi’s office, for which the problem to solve is always and only one: to reach half a million vaccinations a day in the shortest possible time.
