The maximum average vaccine administration in Italy next week is just over 200 thousand per day.
The calculation - which also emerges from a check made with the Commissioner for the Covid Emergency, Francesco Figliuolo - was performed based on the availability of current doses and those expected to arrive in the next seven days.
According to what is learned, the inoculation capacity in the various structures of the country would already be about double the amount of vials available.
Hope: now start running again with vaccinations
- "The great work of these days now allows us to start running again with vaccinations", explains Health Minister Roberto Speranza interviewed by the Press: "With the Sostegni decree we field over 150 thousand of family doctors, dentists, pediatricians, postgraduates and outpatient specialists. In addition we will have 19 thousand pharmacies where you can vaccinate and up to 270 thousand nurses to be involved in the campaign which, as soon as we have more doses, will be able to accelerate the exit from ' emergency".
Due to the effects on the confidence of Italians after the suspension, and then the restart, of the administration of the AstraZeneca vaccine, Speranza says that "it will take a few more days to understand how it goes, but the Italians are aware that the vaccine is the most effective weapon for to come out of this difficult season. In my opinion, the AstraZeneca affair should be read in another way; maximum attention also towards very rare events ";
for me it is not "a communication defect, but a choice of utmost attention to the protection of everyone's safety".
If someone refuses, "we must immediately give it to others. Outside the indications of the health authorities, it makes no sense to choose the vaccine because they are all safe and effective. And above all, they are all capable of protecting against serious forms of disease".
The issue of the export of vaccines: "Europe has always been inspired by the principle of solidarity. Personally, I do not think that the war against another country for purchases would have produced better results. In these hours we are the first to ask the EU Commission to be rigorous in making companies observe contracts ".
On the Russian Sputnik vaccine: "I remain convinced that the nationality of the scientists does not count as much as its safety and efficacy. Things that only our regulatory agencies can ascertain. However, I expect Ema to be as quick to decide on Sputnik as on the other upcoming vaccines" .
The color system for the Regions even after 6 April: "I believe it is the most effective choice to make the measures proportional to the different epidemiological situation of the territories. It will be confirmed".
As for the executive's tax choices, Speranza stresses that "this government will not make the flat tax. On this Draghi was clear", and on the recent scrapping of the files he reflects by saying that "with the limitation of 30 thousand euros of income and 5 thousand of the remediable amount we rejected the attempt to pass a real amnesty. Here we are talking about a targeted intervention, far from what someone thought to do ".
