"
Let's not stop at the numbers but let's use them to take a leap forward
".
This was stated by Fabrizio Curcio, head of Civil Protection today in Genoa for the opening of the trade fair's maxi-vaccination hub.
"We are not here - he said, referring also to the presence of Commissioner Francesco Figliuolo - to make rankings. We don't care. We care about getting vaccinated".
"
We
- he stressed -
are at war. War rules are needed
. And it seems to me that this is being done here, starting with the use of pharmacies that will see one of the first activation points in Liguria, as well as the rule that unlocks the 'operation of the nurses and many other things done and received to favor both the technical and political part ".
"Let us see what you can do - he concluded - so that we can transfer it to the national level as a best practice to be implemented all together".
"The vaccination plan - said Commissioner Francesco Figliuolo - must not change every two weeks: the Regions have the bimonthly programming of the largest companies. Pfizer and AstraZeneca already know what arrives until the end of April. They even know the dates of Pfizer" .
The general confirmed the arrival of about three million doses by the end of the month, which "will bring us a total from the beginning of the campaign of 14 million and 170,000 doses, compared to the initial estimate of 15.6 million, but which is more than to the downturns that companies initially feared. And I think we must acknowledge the intervention of our Prime Minister ".
"It is clear - added the commissioner - that the manufacturing companies, which are aligning themselves, not working with stocks but putting everything they produce on the market. They have objective difficulties in giving a calendar that has a horizon of more than two weeks. because - he concluded - once the vaccines are filled they have more than 180 controls and if one fails, the whole batch is stopped. In the last few weeks, we have not had any such delay ".
"The Regions have their own models, I am interested in them reaching the numbers and to reach the numbers I am willing to do anything that falls within the law".
General Francesco Paolo Figliuolo said this today in Genoa, responding to those who asked him for a comment on the involvement of private healthcare in the vaccination campaign.
"Certainly this is a good practice - he said - and we also have others".
Next Wednesday, March 31, General Francesco Paolo Figliuolo, commissioner for the Covid emergency.
and the head of civil protection, Fabrizio Curcio, will be in Lombardy.
This was stated by the Lombard commissioner Guido Bertolaso at the end of the visit to the new vaccination hub in the former court of Crema (Cremona).
"They will come to see what we are doing - said Bertolaso - they will come to see our programs, we will take stock of the situation and we will not hide from them the problems we have had and are facing and solving".
