The President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen has announced that vaccinations against covid-19 in the EU will start on December 27. “It is time for Europe. On December 27, 28 and 29, vaccinations will begin throughout the EU. Let’s protect our citizens together“Has scritto von der Leyen his Twitter.

Italy will start with the first vaccines for healthcare personnel. This is what we learn after a morning meeting between the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, and the extraordinary commissioner for the emergency, Domenico Arcuri. The Italian government has worked in recent days to promote a common symbolic date for vaccinations in the European Union.

“If all the verification procedures for the Pfizer Biontech vaccine from Ema and Aifa are successfully completed on schedule, Italy will start with the first vaccinations for healthcare personnel on December 27. The Italian government has worked in recent days to favor a common symbolic start date for vaccination in the European Union. We still need a lot of caution and the path will not be short, but the path is the right one “. The Minister of Health writes in a post on Facebook Roberto Speranza.

Three thousand doctors and 12 thousand nurses: These are the contracts that could be financed with an amendment to the implementation maneuver of the anti-Covid vaccination plan that the Arcuri plan provides. However, the proposed amendment, according to the majority sources, is still being debated and it is not certain that it will arrive with the budget law.

Pope Francis keeps asking access to vaccines and treatments against Covid even for the most fragile. I renew the call to policy makers and the private sector to take the appropriate measures to guarantee access to vaccines against Covid-19 and the essential technologies necessary to help the sick and all the poorest and most fragile ”: this is what we read in the Message of the 54th World Day of Peace that is celebrated on January 1, 2021.
