About two million and two hundred thousand doses of the vaccine are coming this week.

Specifically, from today, until Wednesday, a new weekly load of Pfizer is expected, with a significant increase: about one and a half million doses.

To these, another 400 thousand of Moderna will be added.

Tomorrow 360 thousand doses will be stored in the Defense hub in Pratica di Mare.

Of these, 184,800 are from Johnson & Johnson's first shipment, while another 175,200 are from AstraZeneca.

"Having exceeded 2 million vaccines in Lombardy despite delays in supply and disasters in Europe is a source of pride" the secretary of the Lega Matteo Salvino said this after his visit to the former Expo area where the Milan Innovativ District is being built, asking in Brussels to decide on the green light for Sputnik "which is used in 60 countries. I wonder how long we have to wait for a yes or a no - he added - I hope that Ema will say it quickly".

There are over 4.2 million vaccines that will be delivered in total between 15 and 22 April to the health facilities of the Regions.

In particular, the distribution of over three million Pfizer divided into two mandates of 1.5 million, approximately half a million of Vaxzevria, over 400 thousand of Moderna, and more than 180 thousand of Johnson & Johnson is planned.

For the week 16-22 April it is estimated about 315 thousand daily administrations in over 2,200 active vaccination points throughout Italy.

This is what

the Commissioner for the Covid Emergency of General Francesco Figliuolo

communicates

in a note

.

"Within the framework of the priorities indicated by Ordinance number 6 of the Extraordinary Commissioner, the number of people over the age of 80 who received at least one administration has in the meantime exceeded 3 million, with an increase of 500 thousand units compared to the previous week. In this way, 70% of the audience of over 4.5 million was reached with at least one dose, detected with the 'Health Card' computer system and verified by the Autonomous Regions / Provinces ".

The vaccination campaign "must continue uniformly at national level, without derogations from the principles that regulate it, referring to the ordinance that indicates the priority categories

", said Figliuolo, replying to the president of Campania Vincenzo De Luca.

"The goal - adds the Commissioner - is to secure the fragile people and the older age groups, who are the most vulnerable to infection. The faster this phase ends, the sooner it is possible to vaccinate the categories. productive ".

"Campania - said De Luca - was one of the most rigorous regions in Italy, but one thing is rigor and another is stupidity. I have just finished talking with Commissioner Figliuolo to whom I told that once the over eighty and the frail we do not intend to proceed by age group. We will dedicate the public structure to treat the frail and the elderly but we will also work on the economic sectors because if we decide to go forward only by age groups, when we have finished the age groups the Italian economy will be dead ".
